Produktinformationen zu „The Chemical History of a Candle (World Digital Library Edition) (PDF)“
The gently wavering flame of a candle captivates the curious eye. It beguiles one into wondering exactly how a wick ignites and slowly burns into the wax, bringing forth a small halo of light. At its most basic level, The Chemical History of a Candle melts away the mysteries of candles and combustion, but it also is a prevailing narrative as to the power of scientific observation and experimentation.The Chemical History of a Candle is the transcript of six lectures given by Faraday at the Royal Institution, where he worked and conducted research for nearly forty years. While lecturing about a candle, he weaves in answers to mysteries about such common things as air, water, and even the breathing process. Faraday takes great pains to prove to his audience that what he says is true by performing numerous experiments, using twenty-six illustrations and experiments in Lecture I alone.
Autoren-Porträt von Michael Faraday
Michael Faraday is considered by many to be the father of electrochemistry. A self-taught scientist, he was introduced to the fields of chemistry and electricity through reading the books that came into the bookbinding shop in which he was an apprentice. Intrigued by the field, he performed the experiments he read about, and went on to become a laboratory assistant for Sir Humphrey Davy at the Royal Institution. Furthering his self-education, he read works by Dr. Isaac Watts, who significantly influenced Faraday’s thought process and research method. Faraday went on to create the first device that converted mechanical energy to electrical energy, and, in fact, all electric generators today are based on his discoveries. Additionally, he holds numerous achievements in chemistry, such as his discovery of benzene and the liquefaction of chlorine.
