I ordered this book after hearing a radio drama, based on the book and presented in 15-minutes-a-day segments. I found it fascinating and inspiring, because I share Michael's love of science and a deep, living Christian faith. True to life in those times, with lots of interesting events which clearly illustrate the character of Faraday and those around him, the story is written to appeal to any age reader. As an electronics professional I did not find the writng at all childish, yet it is an easy read and contains some humor as well. One can feel Michael's pain as he faces the obstacles, applaud his persistence and humility, and share his exuberance as his dreams were finally realized. Mr. Ludwig's balanced treatment of Faraday's life provides insights into many aspects of the London of his time, as well as detailed descriptions of Michael's experiments. Many prominent scientists and their discoveries are mentioned in the book, and a two-page bibliography is included at the end. This short publication could be used as a starting point for researching a larger, more detailed treatise. Every high school student and adult should read this book. Thank you, Charles Ludwig and , for this appealing biography of Michael Farady.
A remarkable and memorable book! An A+. A 10. I ran across a copy at the Santa Barbara library's donated books for sale shelves and liked the "look" of the book. The size and the "heft", too. I bought it with other books mostly to support the library selling it, :-) but when I got home, I started to read it. It is an amazing read. Mr. Ludwig's style is surprising, different and intriguing. Mr. Ludwig's outlook on Michael Faraday's life and how and why he accomplished what he did, combined in that style, made the unprepossessing book quite a read! I read the whole thing right then and there and found it an amazing reading experience. The envisioning and portraying by Mr. Ludwig of Michael Faraday and Faraday's life, world, era, and beliefs is very, very, special. The overall "portrait" is unforgettable. I do not see this as just a child's or student's book. I see it as an inspiration. I plan to give copies to thoughtful friends and family. Read it. Judge for yourself and pass it on. Highly recommended.
An easy and compelling read for middle school age children to adults. Michael was a man who loved "thinking God's thoughts after him" as he pursued scientific truth for the benefit of humanity.
A well written and fascinating biography of Faraday. My 11 year old thoroughly enjoyed reading it and narrating it back to me. The chapters are the right length for each lesson. I can't wait to do it again with my younger son in a few years.
This is a good overview of the life of Michael Faraday, the man Einstein said was the greatest scientist of all time. It is written for the junior reader, but it is better than other biographies of Michael Faraday that I've seen.
I was captivated. This is well written. For me, the book was written so I felt ad if I knew Faraday as a friend. His daily life, while interesting scientifically, was rather simple, yet the book is written in such a way that you find the amazing excitement that Faraday felt as he made his many discoveries What an amazing man, from basically uneducated to having a fundamental physical and parameter carry your name. Wow!
Faraday beat all the odds.Everyone including the kingcame down on him.Faraday showed them all.I consider Faraday's work equal if not greaterthan Ben Franklin's.Willyt Electrical Engineer
a wonderful man written about in a wonderful book.I have read this story too many children it is very inspirational. Although it is "Christian" in a certain way, it is very universal and its approach to values and courage.
