Book SynopsisThe author of Mesmerized shares another comical true tale of a Founding Father using science to defeat ignorance and stop the spread of false information.Thomas Jefferson was wild about numbers. He was constantly counting, measuring, and observing things that caught his interest. He loved sharing his discoveries and reading the discoveries of others.
