About This Book

A compact biography traces the subject's humble beginnings, self-education in a bookseller's shop, and early experiments, then follows his development into a leading experimentalist. Subsequent sections analyze personality and working methods, describe major discoveries and their practical and theoretical consequences, and offer assessments of scientific value. The volume combines personal reminiscences, letters, and previously unpublished documents to illustrate character and approach, includes portraits and a supplementary appendix of honors, and concludes with a concise indexing of sources and contributions.
