Book Description
Excerpt from Dundee Celebrities of the Nineteenth Century: Being a Series of Biographies of Distinguished or Noted Persons Connected by Birth, Residence, Official Appointment or Otherwise, With the Town of Dundee; And Who Have Died During the Present Century There is probably no town in the kingdom, having regard to size and population, which has produced a larger number of eminent men, and especially if. 'men who have risen, ' than has the good old town of Dundee. The rapid growth and improvement of the town itself, the unprecedented development and extension of its staple trade, and the con sequent increase 1n its wealth and importance which have taken place within the present century, are something quite marvellous; and it is not going beyond the truth to say, that these extraordinary results are due quite as much to the enterprising spirit, the Singular ability, and the indomitable perseverance of its townsmen, as to any natural facilities or artificial advantages of which the place can boast. It is therefore presumed, that a series of sketches of the more distinguished and noted persons who have latterly figured in its local annals - whose career, in many instances, has been intimately associated with its commercial progress or social advancement - will be of interest to all who are in any way connected with the town.

Book Description
'Deserves to be as popular with non-specialists as with those who have a science background...I can think of sixth-formers I would offer it to, and I know of an eighty-year-old (non-specialist) who would not let me finish my copy in peace' - Elspeth Crawford, Physics Education 'Cantor...achieves a level of insight into Farday's life which far surpasses all other biographies. It will form the basis on which future studies of all aspects of Faraday's life and work will have to be built' - Frank A.J.James, British Journal for the History of Science 'A sympathetic and accessible treatment of Faraday's life and work' - David Gooding, Physics World 'For those who want to know more about one of the UK's greatest figures, it is essential reading' - A.R.Butler, Chemistry in Britain 'Excellent Biography' - John Kerr, Scientific and Medical Network Newsletter This book locates Faraday and his science in the context of the Sandemanians. We gain both a new interpretation of one of the most important scientists of the nineteenth century and a fascinating insight into the relation between science and religion.
