Why I looked at this book
I knew of Ørsted as giving his name to one of the many units of electromagnetism, and I looked at this book because I'm always interested in biographies of scientists. The blurb for this book suggests, however, that Ørsted was much more than just another name in electromagnetism - he started the subject, as well as being a polymath, contributing to many areas of knowledge. I'm keen to find out more.
