Seller's Description:
Like New in Fine jacket. Size: 6x1x8; Nearly every schoolchild in America knows that Benjamin Franklin flew a kite during a thunderstorm in the summer of 1752. The kite conducted electricity and thew a spark from a key that Franklin attached to the kite's string. He thereby proved that lightning and electricity were one. In this book, Tom Tucker revisits the scientific scene of the mid-eighteenth century; a jostling experimental arena that attracted philosophers, aristocrats, celebrated beauties, wheeler-dealers and social climbers. What no one has successfully proven until now-and what few have suggested-is that Franklin never flew the kite at all. He was an enthusiastic hoaxer and his quick wits and natural mischievousness served him well throughout his career as he launched a number of pranks and deceptions. With the electric kite, he managed the greatest hoax of them all.
