Can you recommend a/some good book(s) on Faraday for the lay person? In particular, in relation to his 'Experimental Researches in Electricity'.
Also, any books explaining how Maxwell explained Faraday's work in mathematical terms.

Michael Faraday by L. Pearce Williams. Lots of biographical information but also detailed explications of his work referencing his published papers and diary. No math though, since Faraday wasn't a mathematician, but he was a great experimentalist!
