About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of Faraday As A Discoverer by John Tyndall. Read in English by William Allan Jones; realisticspeakers; Michele Fry; Owlivia; KevinS; Alan Mapstone; Christina Fu; Jeremy Clark; Wayne Cooke This is the first of two related Faraday projects. It is about Faraday and deals more with biographical references to Faraday, outlining the important junctures in his life. The second, On the Various Forces of Nature, consists of lectures by Faraday covering a non-mathematical survey of the fundamental forces of nature and some relationships among them. Future projects will feature the 19th century scientists upon whose shoulders Einstein stood while developing his Theory of Relativity, including Humboldt, Lorentz, Michelson, Morley, Curie and Eddington.
