Books, Manuscripts
James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879) was the greatest physicist of the nineteenth century and a natural philosopher of comparable significance to Newton and Einstein, although he has generally not received the acclaim or recognition that he deserves. This book goes beyond the life of the man himself to explore five generations of his family and those with whome they were connected.
