ISBN: 0312066694 Michael Faraday has become renowned as the discoverer of such phenomena as electromagnetic rotation, electromagnetic induction and the laws of electrochemistry. Moreover, his theoretical insights provided the basis for field theory. This book locates Faraday and his science in the context of the Sandemanians, an obscure Christian fundamentalist sect to which he belonged. After outlining the history of the sect, Faraday's social and political views, including his attitude to the scientific community, are shown to derive from the Sandemanian social philosophy. Likewise, his profoundly religious understanding of nature is seen as permeating many aspects of his science. Geoffrey Cantor is also the author of "Optics after Newton" and co-editor of "Companion to the History of Modern Science". "Geoffrey N. Cantor (born 1943) is emeritus professor of history and philosophy of science at the University of Leeds and Honorary Senior Research Associate at UCL Department of Science and Technology Studies at University College London. He has written extensively on the history of science since the 17th century, including books upon Michael Faraday, the wave theory of light and the responses of the Quaker and Jewish religions to science." -- Wikip. "Professor Geoffrey Cantor trained as a Physicist, gaining his PhD in radiophysics at King's College, London. While pursuing this research he discovered History and Philosophy of Science and started taking courses with Larry Laudan in that new and exciting subject, while teaching Physics at a school. The HPS department at the University of Indiana beckoned and enabled him to retrain as an historian. He has spent most of his professional life teaching HPS at the University of Leeds, where he has moved progressively from the history of physics to historical studies of science and religion. The initial project that bridged the two areas resulted in his Michael Faraday, Sandemanian and Scientist (1991)." -- International Society for Science & Religion. …

No Binding. Zustand: Fine. Single halved demy sheet (225 x 114mm) twice folded; 5pp. A LANDMARK PAPER ON THE REALITY OF THE ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD - UNRECORDED OFFPRINT ISSUE. An exceptional copy of the separate printing of Faraday's famous lecture, arguing for the physical reality of the 'lines of force', read to the Royal Institution on Friday 11 June 1852, with demonstrations. Faraday first developed his ideas about lines of force and the electromagnetic 'field' that they must comprise in the early 1830s - even taking the precaution of sealing an account of his theory in a vault in case he needed later to claim priority. He worked through the idea slowly, revisiting it in earnest only after his major period of experimental research into electricity and magnetism was concluded. A few month's prior to the present lecture, Faraday had given a more tentative account of the lines of force to the Royal Institution, hedging on the issue of their physical reality. By June he was more confident, writing, in the text offered here: "Many powers act manifestly at a distance; their physical nature is incomprehensible to us: still we may learn much that is real and positive about them, and amongst other things something of the condition of the space between the body acting and that acted upon [. . .] Such forces are presented to us by the phenomena of gravity, light, electricity, magnetism, &c." Faraday's physical intuition about fields and lines of force held the interest of the scientific community. But one man, very different in character from Faraday, would bring new methods to bear on the problem. This was James Clerk Maxwell, who in the 1850s was a young mathematician at the University of Cambridge. By placing Faraday's work on sound mathematical foundations Maxwell was able to develop his famous field equations - the direct precursor to and inspiration for Einstein's work on relativity. Faraday's lecture was widely reported and appeared in a number of journals. However, we have been unable to find any copies of this separate printing of the lecture. The print run must have been very small indeed: 'For the use of members' is printed at the top of the first page, and the ephemeral format will have made survival unlikely. Fine condition, noting only the very faintest darkening to the lower right-hand corner. Uncut, as issued.
