Title: The history of an outstanding simple man...James Maxwell
Review: When I started reading this book, I have seen something similar to the history of one of the greatest mathematicians, Euler.Euler and Maxwell were probably similar in several ways, they were true genius but still kept in contact with normal people and enjoyed life. Their fame is not proportional to their contributions, Maxwell and Euler are in the same category as men like Einstein, Newton, Da Vinci.Basil Mahon has done a great job of telling Maxwell life and presenting his contributions to science in a way that a lay person can understand. The great thing is that he presents the methods or models used by Maxwell to reach his conclusions. It makes easier for us to understand the thought process of a genius.Clearly Basil Mahon admired his subject, and by extension the reader will get involved.
