À propos de cet audio

 Award-winning author Philip Dray delves into the lesser-known side of an American icon in Stealing God's Thunder. Benjamin Franklin, more often viewed as a statesman and founding father than as a man of science, challenged religion, science, and reason with his inventions. But in a time when everything was blamed on sin, it was the lightning rod, Franklin's attempt to control the heavens, that caused the greatest controversy.©2005 Philip Dray (P)2006 Recorded Books Amériques Histoire Physique Professionnels et universitaires Science Science et technologie États-Unis Technologie Mathématiques
