Though we most often think of Jefferson as president and statesman, he is also recognized, in the words of the late Dumas Malone, 'as an American pioneer in numerous branches of science, notably paleontology, ethnology, geography, and botany.' In this fascinating book, Silvio Bedini, the acknowledged authority on Jefferson's 'supreme delight' in the sciences, explores his wideranging mathematical and scientific pursuits.Taught surveying by his mapmaking father, Jefferson developed an interest in measurement and observation at an early age. He was captivated not only by the topography around him, but also by the stars and planets in the heavens above and by the minerals, fossils, artifacts, and plants in the soil below. Known internationally as a man of learning and as the longserving president of the American Philosophical Society, Jefferson read widely, corresponded with other science enthusiasts worldwide, promoted scientific explorationmost notably, the Lewis and Clark expeditionand performed his own diverse experiments.Painting a broad picture of Jefferson as scientist, this book offers a captivating new look at one of America's great Renaissance men.
