Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Dray captures the genius and ingenuity of Franklins scientific thinking and then does something even more fascinating: He shows how science shaped his diplomacy, politics, and Enlightenment philosophy.Walter Isaacson, author of Benjamin Franklin: An American LifeToday we think of Benjamin Franklin as a founder of American independence who also dabbled in science. But in Franklins day, the era of Enlightenment, long before he was an eminent statesman, he was famous for his revolutionary scientific work. Pulitzer Prize finalist Philip Dray uses the evolution of Franklins scientific curiosity and empirical thinking as a metaphor for Americas struggle to establish its fundamental values. He recounts how Franklin unlocked one of the greatest natural mysteries of his day, the seemingly unknowable powers of lightning and electricity. Rich in historical detail and based on numerous primary sources, Stealing Gods Thunder is a fascinating original look at one of our most beloved and complex founding fathers. A Pulitzer Prize finalist uses the story of Ben Franklin's science and his curiousity as a metaphor for America's struggle for democracy, and recounts how Franklin unlocked one of the greatest natural mysteries of his day.
