From the bestselling author of Where Good Ideas Come From, The Ghost Map and Everything Bad Is Good for You, a new nationwide bestseller: the “exhilarating”( Los Angeles Times) account of Joseph Priestley, “a founding dad long overlooked”(Newsweek) and an excellent man who embodied the relationship between science, faith, and politics for America's Founding Fathers.
In The Invention of Air, nationwide bestselling publisher Steven Johnson instructs the fascinating account of Joseph Priestley—scientist and theologian, protégé of Benjamin Franklin, friend of Thomas Jefferson—an eighteenth-century radical thinker who performed pivotal jobs in the technology of ecosystem knowledge, the discovery of oxygen, the uses of oxygen, technological experimentation, the founding of the Unitarian Cathedral, and the intellectual development of america. As he have so masterfully in The Ghost Map, Steven Johnson uses a dramatic historical account to explore themes which may have long involved him: innovative strategies, intellectual models, and just how new ideas emerge and disperse, and the surroundings that foster these breakthroughs.
