"Among creative scientific workers, Michael Faraday's writings are some of the most accessible. Yet there are terms, constructions, and theories in his work the meaning of which are not immediately transparent even to the informed reader. Fisher in this guide has provided a useful way through parts of Faraday's enormously influential Experimental Researches in Electricity."
---Frank A.J.L. James, The Royal Institution, editor of The Correspondence of Michael Faraday.
"Faraday is always a delight to read--he's lucid and carries the reader with him on his odyssey investigating physical phenomena. We are also privileged to witness each stage in the development of his ideas. In this edition of his Experimental Researches in Electricity our appreciation of Faraday's writings is further heightened by Howard Fisher acting as our trusty and perceptive guide."
---Geoffrey Cantor, University of Leeds, author of Michael Faraday, Sandemanian and Scientist.
"Howard Fisher has produced an invaluable guide for the reader new to Faraday's writings. With a keen sense of what readers might find confusing, Fisher provides clear explanations of the basic science, decriptions of unusual apparatus, helpful terminology notes, and new figures that enhance otherwise-puzzling aspects of one of the liveliest and most readable of all great scientific works. Used alone, or--even better--along with the recently republished complete series of Faraday's Experimental Researches in Electricity, Fisher's book is likely to be the standard 'starting place' for years to come.
---Ryan Tweney, Bowling Green State University, author of Michael Faraday's 'Chemical Notes, Hintes, Suggetions and Objects of Pursuit' of 1822.
"Howard Fisher is exceptionally well equipped to guide us in a reading of the Experimental Reseaches in Electricity. He himself has an impressive talent for experimenting and his years of experience in discussing the "Great Books" in seminars at St. John's College have revealed his skill at ferreting out central issues and clarifying discussion of them."
---Thomas K. Simpson, St. John's College, author of Maxwell on the Electromagnetic Field.
