Produktbeschreibung
Isaac Newton defined gravity. Albert Einstein defined relativity. James Clerk Maxwell defined the modern world. His name may not be as famous, but his legacy is everywhere. Maxwell was the quiet Scottish genius who, with a stunning set of equations, performed one of the greatest acts of intellectual unification in human history. He took the seemingly separate forces of electricity and magnetism and proved they were a single, harmonious force-and that light was an electromagnetic wave. This book is the definitive portrait of a man who was as profound as he was brilliant. It traces his journey from a curious boy on a Scottish farm to a visionary who single-handedly gave us the theoretical foundation for all wireless communication. It reveals the deeply human side of the man behind the genius, a man of unwavering faith, gentle humor, and a tireless pursuit of the universe's most elegant truths. Approx.170 pages, 33000 word count
