reviewed Forensic Chemistry on July 20, 2016 Forensic Chemistry
I wish I could rate this book higher, but I can't. Faraday is certifiably awesome, and it would definitely be worth a trip in a time machine to have seen his lectures. But, for me, reading them fell a little flat.
This was partially my fault, as I read a copy with no pictures, and this book would have been greatly improved by some illustrations. Nonetheless, I found it difficult and dry to follow page after page of descriptions of demonstrations'demonstrations that would have been both easy-to-follow and entertaining if seen in the flesh. A more conventional, didactic style would have made for a more pleasant read.
Again, this is not Faraday's fault, as he designed these notes to accompany live demonstrations. And when his personality shines through in the lectures, you get a glimpse of a passionate, affable, and profound mind.
