Paperback. Michael Faraday's On the Various Forces of Nature and Their Relations to Each Other began as a series of six Christmas Lectures delivered before a juvenile audience at the Royal Institution in 1859. In them, Faraday - one of the greatest experimental scientists of the nineteenth century - guides his listeners through the fundamental forces governing the natural world: gravitation, cohesion, chemical affinity, heat, magnetism, and electricity, revealing at every step the deep connections binding them together.Faraday possessed a rare gift for making complex ideas vivid and immediate. Born in 1791 to a poor family and largely self-educated, he rose to become one of the most celebrated scientific minds of his age, responsible for foundational discoveries in electromagnetism and electrochemistry. By the time he delivered these lectures he had already demonstrated the connection between magnetism and light, and had spent decades attempting to show that the forces of nature were not isolated phenomena but aspects of a single underlying reality. That conviction animates every lecture in this volume, giving them a unity of purpose that elevates them well above the level of mere popular instruction.The lectures were taken down by a shorthand reporter and subsequently edited by William Crookes. The result is a text that reads with unusual directness and warmth, reflecting the qualities that made Faraday one of the most beloved lecturers of his era.This edition is based on the 1894 Chatto & Windus publication. The page numbers of that edition are supplied in the margins to facilitate cross-referencing and citation. A lecture on lighthouse illumination appended to the 1894 edition has been omitted, as it was not part of the original six-part series delivered under the name A Course of Six Lectures on the Various Forces of Matter, and Their Relations to Each Other. A legendary experimentalist unveils the hidden threads connecting gravity, magnetism, and light, revealing how the diverse powers of the universe weave together into a single, magnificent tapestry.

Sinopsis

Michael Faraday's On the Various Forces of Nature and Their Relations to Each Other began as a series of six Christmas Lectures delivered before a juvenile audience at the Royal Institution in 1859. In them, Faraday - one of the greatest experimental scientists of the nineteenth century - guides his listeners through the fundamental forces governing the natural world: gravitation, cohesion, chemical affinity, heat, magnetism, and electricity, revealing at every step the deep connections binding them together.

Faraday possessed a rare gift for making complex ideas vivid and immediate. Born in 1791 to a poor family and largely self-educated, he rose to become one of the most celebrated scientific minds of his age, responsible for foundational discoveries in electromagnetism and electrochemistry. By the time he delivered these lectures he had already demonstrated the connection between magnetism and light, and had spent decades attempting to show that the forces of nature were not isolated phenomena but aspects of a single underlying reality. That conviction animates every lecture in this volume, giving them a unity of purpose that elevates them well above the level of mere popular instruction.

The lectures were taken down by a shorthand reporter and subsequently edited by William Crookes. The result is a text that reads with unusual directness and warmth, reflecting the qualities that made Faraday one of the most beloved lecturers of his era.

This edition is based on the 1894 Chatto & Windus publication. The page numbers of that edition are supplied in the margins to facilitate cross-referencing and citation. A lecture on lighthouse illumination appended to the 1894 edition has been omitted, as it was not part of the original six-part series delivered under the name A Course of Six Lectures on the Various Forces of Matter, and Their Relations to Each Other.

Informaci�n sobre el derecho de desistimiento

Derecho legal de desistimiento

Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 d�as sin dar ning�n motivo.

El periodo de desistimiento vencer� a los 14 d�as desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesi�n f�sica del �ltimo bien o del �ltimo lote o pieza.

Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electr�nica y env�e una declaraci�n clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a trav�s de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electr�nico).

Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que env�e su comunicaci�n relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.

Efectos del desistimiento

Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de env�o (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de env�o que no sea el tipo de env�o est�ndar m�s econ�mico que ofrecemos).

Podemos hacer una deducci�n del reembolso por la p�rdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la p�rdida es el resultado de una manipulaci�n innecesaria por su parte.

Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a m�s tardar, 14 d�as despu�s de que se nos informe de su decisi�n de rescindir este contrato.

Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utiliz� para la transacci�n inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrir� en ning�n cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
