Very few are aware of the impact of Scottish thinkers on our countrys Founding Fathers. Yet that influence persists today and could radiate to other enlightened countries tomorrow. Author Robert W. Galvin has uncovered the important contribution of the Scots as prime teacher of the English colonists, and the principle of founding revolution in governance. He presents this important part of history in his thoughtprovoking book, The Genius of a People. Discover what the Scottish Enlightenment did as you leaf through the pages of this informative and authoritative work. It will take you back to the 1750s where readers will find the grandest aggregation of leading scholars from all existing fields of knowledge of that time.
