Excellent biography! Ludwig has done a wonderful job of creating a truly interesting and educational biography of Faraday. A mix of factual life in London, along with a myriad of mini-biographies of great scientist living before and after Faraday make this a must read. This is a great book for those wanting to show their children how hard work and study can pay off. Faraday's humble love of our Lord is a main theme. A truly "living" book!
