Review:
"Holmes's biographical account makes his obsessive protagonists...the prototypes of the Romantic genius absorbed in a Promethean quest for knowledge....It's an engrossing portrait of scientists as passionate adventurers, boldly laying claim to the intellectual leadership of society." (starred review)
Publisher's Weekly, 06/01/2009
Review:"In this inspired work of history, Richard Holmes....writes with the supple narrative skill of a novelist, pulling threads together and weaving a cohesive tale of unlikely collaboration in an age of explosive beliefs."
John Freeman, National Public Radio, 06/24/2009
