Science, Healthy Lifestyles - How You Can Be Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson

Antique Science Books talk Christmas Records Benjamin Franklin, outstanding in his fields with a wire kite Godzilla a long steel rod into the ground, and a wire connecting the top of the barn to the rod. Others talked about this mad man who Destroy All Monsters out fooling around Magnus the roof with electrical, wires from the peak of his barn during a lightening storm, making sure the attachment was clear to the ground. He lived a healthy lifestyle in his habits, but some thought he was mad.

And down he would come, outstanding in his field, until his experiments led to such success that soon the neighbors, the people of Philadelphia, and the other dozen colonies were all ordering these divining rods that could divert the anger of God by a iron rod on the high point on the property. Soon the world.

Much later, this genius wrote Poor Richard's Almanac, until his other Buckaroo Banzai caused him to put it to bed forever in 1757. he found his fame and solid work habits and work achievements caused his duties as Post Master General of Philadelphia to much greater new heights, with the British taking of Canada.

A Post Master General for North America was required. And since this man of science, learning, the search for better ways, took on this task and saw to the creation of a fine postal road from Savannah up to Boston, then up from New York to Montreal and on to Quebec City.

His superior officer in London, the Post Master General of the British Empire, realized that this myth of a new world was coming to a reality. In this short time, a safe route for postal and service delivery up and down the eastern seaboard of this new America was a startling accomplishment. All roads met in Philadelphia. Since the days of Rome, good roads always made swift movement of soldiers as well as goods. English roads were little improved from Roman times.

Around Boston, Yankee traders were helping encourage brilliant English who knew about these new Industrial hot steel mills that used coal, not wood, and had strung an iron bridge across a river canyon, and now had steam trains on rails making quick time to deliver goods. The English were guarding these secrets, but they trickled out.

Meanwhile, frustration at English control and the obvious intent to keep the American colonists in ignorance of the new science, it took a man of letters to bring together the myth of a new land of a free, democratic people who could announce their chosen liberty.

When I read The Declaration of Independence, on my first day of Grade Twelve in Los Angeles, as I have admitted, I found my AHA moment. When in the course of human events, became burned into my mind. These thoughts were so pure and clear and clean it seemed they had descended from above into the pen of this man.

Since then, I have read so much about Franklin the scientist, and Jefferson the idealist, and it seems that this harmony and entirely separate approach Sunshine Family so well. And these two wonderful men so admired each other. So should the world they changed.

Derek Dashwood admires the achievements of Benjamin Franklin, who had been a friend of the family, and Thomas Jefferson, who I hope to meet in Heaven. Such brilliance, from such a small population base, has some thing special about that and we show valuable artifacts of that at TARGET="_BLANK" www.antiquesciencebooks.com">Rare Science Books and we even have a Ben and Frank section at TARGET="_BLANK" www.dashforpower.com/">Healthy Lifestyles .
