  • Resumen

  • Beyond producing a body of pioneering research in thermodynamics, Faraday left an educational legacy: his great lectures on the “Chemical History of a Candle.” 

    Originally published in 1861, this series of six lectures showcases Faraday's ability to clearly display scientific principles to a general population, landing him the reputation of one of the first 'popular scientists.' Scott says, "When people say to trust the science these days, they aren’t doing Faraday's type of science."

    Why a candle? Faraday believes that choosing a candle as the topic of investigation is the best way to introduce viewers to the nature of science. Scott adds, "In terms of physical investigations, a candle is about as close as you can get to the beginning."

    Karl says, "There are wonders around you that you should be gobsmacked by every time you see it. A candle is one of those things."

    The duo agrees, this book would be a good addition to your home library collection, especially if you are interested in homeschooling. Brought to you by onlinegreatbooks.com.
