A self-taught authority on electromagnetic theory, telegraphy and telephony, Heaviside (1850–1925) dedicated his life to electrical technologies. The publication of Electrical Papers in 1892 established his fame. Illustrated with practical examples, the subjects covered include voltaic constants, microphones, electromagnets and electromagnetic wave surface and electromagnetic induction.
A self-taught authority on electromagnetic theory, telegraphy and telephony, Oliver Heaviside (1850–1925) dedicated his adult life to the improvement of electrical technologies. Inspired by James Clerk Maxwell's field theory, he spent the 1880s presenting his ideas as a regular contributor to the weekly journal, The Electrician. The publication of Electrical Papers, a year after his election to the Royal Society in 1891, established his fame beyond the scientific community. An eccentric figure with an impish sense of humour, Heaviside's accessible style enabled him to educate an entire generation in the importance and application of electricity. In so doing he helped to establish that very British phenomenon, the garden-shed inventor. Illustrated with practical examples, the subjects covered in Volume 1 include voltaic constants, microphones and electromagnets, and Volume 2 includes notes on nomenclature and the self-induction of wires. The book is an excellent source for historians of science.
