Overview
The electrifying biography of innovative scientist Benjamin Franklin is the perfect addition to this outstanding series!
Benjamin Franklin is a famous colonial inventor and multitasker who may be best remembered as one of America's Founding Fathers. But he was also a "natural philosopher" (the term for scientists back in the 1700s), whose experiments led to important discoveries about the nature of electricity-including his famous demonstration that electricity and lightning were one and the same. In a fantastic addition to the much-lauded Giants of Science series, this biography sheds new light ontheman who considered science his true calling in life.

" Another standout in a uniformly stellar series." -Kirkus Reviews, starred review ofAlbert Einstein
"An illuminating, humanizing portrait"-Booklist, starred review ofCharles Darwin
