Michael Faraday Experimental Researches in Electricity

The Experimental Researches in Electricity is a series of articles, originally published in scientific journals, presenting Faraday's work on electricity and magnetism over almost a quarter of a century. In it, Faraday argues masterfully for a radically experimental approach to nature, in the course of which he evolves many of the concepts and terms that have come to be fundamental to our understanding of electricity. Faraday's elegant prose style and his avoidance of mathematics and technical jargon make the work remarkable accessible to all readers, scientists and nonscientists alike.

This wonderful work, which had been out of print for some time, challenges the dominant Newtonian mathematical paradigm that was then being applied to electrical phenomena by Ampère and other physicists. Faraday proposes an alternative vision; in which carefully designed and skillfully executed experiments allow natural laws to be revealed directly and unambiguously, with a minimum of theoretical presuppositions.
