Ingenious - A Biography of...

Richard Munson

The dramatic story of an ingenious man who explained nature and created a country. 
 
 
 
Benjamin Franklin was one of the preeminent scientists of his time. Driven by curiosity, he conducted cutting-edge research on electricity, heat, ocean currents, weather patterns, chemical bonds, and plants. But today, Franklin is remembered more for his political prowess and diplomatic achievements than his scientific creativity. 
 
 
 
In this incisive and rich account of Benjamin Franklin's life and career, Richard Munson recovers this vital part of Franklin's story, reveals his modern relevance, and offers a compelling portrait of a shrewd experimenter, clever innovator, and visionary physicist whose fame opened doors to negotiate French support and funding for American independence. 
 
 
 
Munson's riveting narrative explores how science underpins Franklin's entire story—from tradesman to inventor to nation-founder—and argues that Franklin's political life cannot be understood without giving proper credit to his scientific accomplishments.

The Runaway Universe

John Cowley

No matter in which direction we look out from our position in space, everything is moving away from us at an ever-increasing rate. The Runaway Universe. It appears as though we are living on the surface of a balloon which is being inflated by the force of the Big Bang which first brought our universe into being. While some scientists believe that the universe will eventually run out of energy and die, others, including the author, suggest another, more exciting possibility. What if this universe is just one incarnation of a continuous series of universes that recycles through a sequence of expansions (Big Bangs) and contractions (Black Holes)? This book expands on ideas developed in Energy and Everything, the first of a three-part series by the author examining recent developments in the fields of particle physics and cosmology. Readers are invited to join the author in some interesting and challenging thought experiments designed to examine what is reality and what is illusion, all smoke and mirrors. Is the universe we live in merely a stage on which we act out our lives, telling our stories in a continuous, never-ending series of stories that join with countless other stories in a book called Life?
