Summary "Michael Faraday, Man of Science" by Walter Jerrold is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the life of the renowned scientist Michael Faraday, detailing his humble beginnings as the son of a blacksmith in London and narrating his journey to becoming one of the most influential figures in the field of chemistry and physics. Faraday's character is particularly emphasized, highlighting his unselfish devotion to science, genuine curiosity, and kind nature, which endeared him to many throughout his life. The opening of the book presents a rich picture of Faraday's early life, emphasizing the challenging circumstances in which he was raised. It sets the stage for his intellectual development as he transitions from a newsboy and bookbinder to a self-taught scientist. The narrative introduces impacts on his life, particularly his education through reading and lectures, leading to an apprenticeship that fuels his scientific passions. This introduction effectively illustrates Faraday's character, resilience, and the influential figures, particularly Sir Humphry Davy, who would shape his future in the world of science.
