"Intellectually engaging…deftly written." -- Boston Globe
"Cohen's eye-opening, elegant study shows that America's Founding Fathers were true citizens of the Age of Reason who sought links between scientific principles and constitutional government." -- Publishers Weekly
"A fascinating study…the founding fathers appear in an interesting new light, thanks to Cohen's fresh, not to say iconoclastic, vision." -- Kirkus Reviews
