Instantly reminded me of "Body Electric" by Robert Becker. A fascinating account of how novelty in research is often ridiculed despite being revolutionary, interspersed with various electromagnetic theories: from limb regeneration with cancer growth to life's origins, epigenesis, and embryology.

Edit: gah, should've read the article before commenting, he actually mentions the book as one of his inspirations.
