The Man Who Changed Everything: The Life of James Clerk MaxwellJohn Wiley & Sons, 15 oct 2004 - 256 páginas This is the first biography in twenty years of James Clerk Maxwell, one of the greatest scientists of our time and yet a man relatively unknown to the wider public. Approaching science with a freshness unbound by convention or previous expectations, he produced some of the most original scientific thinking of the nineteenth century — and his discoveries went on to shape the twentieth century. |
