THE BOOK!

My book Benjamin Franklin's Numbers is available now! Check your local bookstore or order from Princeton University Press or Amazon. You can read the reviews here and the first chapter here. Interviews can be found at Radio Times and Technica, capsule reviews at NPR.org and New Scientist, and the latest review at Convergence. Eminent Franklin biographer James Srodes weighs in for the Washington Times. Find out more at Science News or at my Franklin page.


I'll be speaking at Benjamin Franklin Hall on October 17, details here.
