In his seminar on 28 February 2006 to the Faraday Institute for Science
and Religion, which can be downloaded from their website, Colin Russell
asserted that more books had been written about Faraday than about
Newton or Einstein. A quick check of the BL and Wellcome catalogues does
not support this, but does anyone know what the basis of this assertion
might be?
