Covers six eminent British scientists whose work and personality have not receded into the same depth of perspective as their predecessors of the Nineteenth Century, but the tremendous changes following the two world wars have already cut them off sharply from this generation.

Examines the various aspects of the lives and works of five of the greatest scientists of the nineteenth century - Davy, Faraday, Clerk-Maxwell, Joule, and Lord Kelvin.
