In these lectures Michael Faraday’s careful examination of a burning candle reveals the fundamental concepts of chemistry, while at the same time superbly demonstrating the scientific method. In this lecture Faraday continues his investigation of the properties of carbon dioxide and then draws an analogy between the burning of a candle and mammalian respiration.

This book introduces modern readers to Michael Faraday’s great nineteenth-century lectures on The Chemical History of a Candle. This companion to the KZread series contains supplemental material to help readers appreciate Faraday’s key insight that “there is no more open door by which you can enter into the study of science than by considering the physical phenomena of a candle.” Through a careful examination of a burning candle, Faraday’s lectures introduce readers to the concepts of mass, density, heat conduction, capillary action, and convection currents. They demonstrate the difference between chemical and physical processes, such as melting, vaporization, incandescence, and all types of combustion. And the lectures reveal the properties of hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide, including their relative masses and the makeup of the atmosphere. The lectures wrap up with a grand, and startling, analogy: by understanding the chemical behavior of a candle the reader can grasp the basics of respiration. To help readers understand Faraday’s key points this book has an “Essential Background” section that explains in modern terms how a candle works, introductory guides for each lecture written in contemporary language, and seven student activities with teaching guides.

    Thank you for making this series and the commentaries. I am your average Joe when it comes to science, but know enough to normally understand things by the context. I learned that 1- The wax in a candle is the fuel. I always thought the wax was there to keep the wick from burning too fast. 2-What i knew as suction is actually "air" pushing down, not the suction "pulling" down. 3- that the combustion from the respiration process is what keeps us warm. I learned a lot from these and enjoyed them immensely, these are just a few things that completely changed the way I viewed them.

    Seems like a lot of attention to detail went into creating all this, even the fonts used for the PDF. Really well done. The only thing I can think about that is not ideal is that this series is not in 4K. Higher resolution would make them more appealing down the road when 1080p starts to seem like 360p, although it might make editing and uploading a pain. But heck, you probably thought about all that already.
