Michael Faraday is one of the giants of the history of science. No less remarkable than his discoveries in electricity, magnetism and other fields is his own story. A self-made, self-educated man, his public life was underpinned by his devout membership of a small Christian sect, whose rigid attitudes shadowed him at every turn, culminating in crises that tested his resolve as a scientist, his faith as a Christian and even the balance of his mind. Yet this son of a blacksmith became the greayest scientist of his day, and the central figure of an extraordinary scientific renaissance in London.
