Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Michael Faraday's social origins, his thought processes, his methods of experimentation, and his religion have all been subjects of exhaustive analysis by historians and philosophers of science. One aspect of his work, which provides unique insight into his career path and the way in which his mind worked, has not received much emphasis outside the realm of academic professionals: namely, his writing. The Philosopher's Tree: Michael Faraday's Life and Work in His Own Words is an illustrated anthology of Faraday's writings compiled with commentary by Professor Peter Day, the director of the Royal Institution of Great Britain. From when he was a teenage apprentice bookbinder until his final resignation from the Royal Institution due to failing memory, Faraday wrote voluminously and his output took many forms. Apart from letters, Faraday kept journals (both scientific and personal); as a practicing scientist, he wrote articles in learned journals; as an adviser to the government and to many other agencies, he wrote reports; and as a supremely successful communicator (especially to young people), he left lecture notes and transcripts. All of these writings add life, color, and depth of focus to the stereotypical scientific colossus. Although Faraday's life was largely lived within what might appear to be very narrow geographical confines (just a few miles around 21 Albemarle Street in London's West End), his professional, social, and family relationships were extensive and diverse, and his responses to them equally complex. Through all the forms of expression that his multifaceted career required of him, one fact shines clearly: not only is Faraday one of the world greatest scientists, he showed enviable quality as a writer. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Laminated illustrated wrappers, 8vo, 25 cm, ix, 147 pp, ills (some coloured), From the blurb - "Henrietta Maria was only 15 when she left France to marry Charles I. For many of his subjects she was his evil genius, a self-willed, interfering Roman Catholic, capable of ruining them all. For Charles himself she was an enchanting little creature, darting about his palaces with her courtiers, dwarves, monkeys and dogs, now chiding him for some imagined misdemeanour, now organising a surprise entertainment or a boat race on the Thames. Neither of them saw the growing troubles around them, but when civil war erupted, Henrietta threw herself wholeheartedly into fighting for the royal cause. She travelled to Holland in an attempt to pawn the Crown jewels, and even marched at the head of her own army. Her heroic efforts and hair-raising voyages read like an adventure story in their own right. Unable to save her husband, she fled to France, where she was something of an embarrassment at court, and she did not return to England until their son had been restored to the throne as Charles II. Dr Marshall is an award-winning professional historian and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. As in her previous books on Mary, Queen of Scots and Bonnie Prince Charlie, she once again brings history to life, vividly recreating the key personalities at the English and French courts, and conveying the trauma of lives torn apart by the civil war." Very Good.

Laminated illustrated wrappers, 4to, 144 pp, ills. 114 entries. From the introduction: ". this commemorative exhibition aims to show something of Johnson's versatility as a thinker and writer, and his profound humanity, which have attracted followers and admirers here and abroad. The story of the bookseller's son from Lichfield, awkward looking, half blind, without a degree, who, without any support, started his career in London as a Grub Street hack and became a 'literary colossus', is still more captivating if told in its proper sequence. The exhibition therefore follows roughly a chronological pattern, and is divided in eight sections of which the first seven concern his life, and the last some biographies by his contemporaries. It focuses on two main features: (i) his method and career as a writer, and (2) the principal portraits of him from life." Contents include: 1 Lichfield, Oxford, and the Midlands; 2 First years in London; 3 Lexicographer; 4 Widower; 5 Pension, Boswell, and The Club; 6 The Thrales and Streatham Park; 7 Last years; 8 Early biographies; Select Bibliography.
