Of late i have been reading allot of books from the 1800-1930's due to a bad taste left in my mouth after reading todays matarial. Todays matarial writes of everything as fact which is in itself unscientific.
When you read books written between the 1800-1930's you realise that there world perspective was very different. To them 200,300, even 500 years ago was just like yesterday and distances were huge. While today 10 years ago is forever and distances are nothing. People prior to our time had a wider window and greater perspective and respect for those who came before them. The result being superior scientific text's and a well rounded individual.
At the moment i busy myself with research on static electricity which seems to have been all but forgotten today, while there are a plithera of brilliant books on the topic between the mentioned period.
There are some nice books which go through the history of electricity in a very readable manner. By learning each discovery in the sequence of discovery you become aware of the various paths we could have taken and the one path we did. You are able to discern for yourself as to whether there might have been a better way of stating an experiment. Another thing you soon realise is that how something is worded has a huge effect upon how it is treated.
I resource all my text from www.archive.org. It is a brilliant resource and one we should be proud of.
Some recomended books
I could go on like this forever. Besides these great books you can find books on how to build and fly a plane, how to build a boat, Alchemy Ancient and Modern (very nice).
I guess my point is that your only ever going to make vegetable soup if you follow the recipe for vegetable soup. This is how todays book are written, follow my recipe and dont think for yourself. All the time you are missing out on chicken soup and the many other flavours. Tom Bearden puts it nicely in one of his videos on "Radionics Action at Distance"

Some recomended books
- The Tesla High Frequency Coil: Very nice book on building a tesla coil from scratch including the step up transformer. There are a number of lessons to be learnt from this book specially about residual magnetism and eddy currents.
- Inventions Researches Writings of Nikola Tesla: A very nice book as well.
- Makers of Electricity: Nice book on the history of electricity. Eary reading to
