He provides remarkable accounts of the early scientists and mathematicians such as Ampere, Faraday, Maxwell, Hertz, and Planckexploring their backgrounds and motivations. In giving us this perspective, John Bray has a unique advantage. As a worldrenowned scientist and pioneer in British telecommunication technology, he himself was a principal player in the subject of his narrative.
