- The reason for the darkness of the night : Edgar Allan Poe and the forging of American science ; by Tresch, John.1972-author;
Introduction: subject: the universe -- Part I: From Allan to Poe: 1.The young astronomer 2.In Jefferson's experiment 3.Exile, artificer, cadet -- Part II: Setting sail: 4.A Baltimore apprenticeship 5.Richmond: the palpable obscure 6.Delirious design -- Part III: Philadelphia: 7.The Athens of America 8.Methods grotesque and arabesque 9.Dizzy heights 10.The tide turns 11.The march of science and quacks -- Part IV: New York City: 12.The market for novelty 13.A man of wonder 14.The imp of the perverse -- Part V: To the plutonian shore: 15.A spectacle for angels 16.The plots of God 17.Falling star -- Conclusion: From a lighthouse."Decade after decade, Edgar Allan Poe remains one of the most popular American writers. He is beloved around the world for his pioneering detective fiction, tales of horror, and haunting, atmospheric verse. But what if there was another side to the man who wrote "The Raven" and "The Fall of the House of Usher"? In The Reason for the Darkness of the Night, John Tresch offers a bold new biography of a writer whose short, tortured life continues to fascinate. Shining a spotlight on an era when the lines separating entertainment, speculation, and scientific inquiry were blurred, Tresch reveals Poe's obsession with science and lifelong ambition to advance and question human knowledge. Even as he composed dazzling works of fiction, he remained an avid and often combative commentator on new discoveries, publishing and hustling in literary scenes that also hosted the era's most prominent scientists, semi-scientists, and pseudo-intellectual rogues. As one newspaper put it, "Mr. Poe is not merely a man of science-not merely a poet-not merely a man of letters. He is all combined; and perhaps he is something more." Taking us through his early training in mathematics and engineering at West Point and the tumultuous years that followed, Tresch shows that Poe lived, thought, and suffered surrounded by science-and that many of his most renowned and imaginative works can best be understood in its company. He cast doubt on perceived certainties even as he hungered for knowledge, and at the end of his life delivered a mind-bending lecture on the origins of the universe that would win the admiration of twentieth-century physicists. Pursuing extraordinary conjectures and a unique aesthetic vision, he remained a figure of explosive contradiction: he gleefully exposed the hoaxes of the era's scientific fraudsters even as he perpetrated hoaxes himself. Tracing Poe's hard and brilliant journey, The Reason for the Darkness of the Night is an essential new portrait of a writer whose life is synonymous with mystery and imagination-and an entertaining, erudite tour of the world of American science just as it was beginning to come into its own."-back cover- Subjects: Biography; Poe, Edgar Allan, 1809-1849.; Authors, American; Learning and scholarship; Science;

- Leo, inventor extraordinaire / by Cunningham, Luke,author.;
"A school for incredibly gifted orphans. A genius kid inventor. A subterranean maze. And a mechanical monkey. What could go wrong? A "lifer" at the secluded Academy of Florence, Leo has never met his parents ... or anyone in his family for that matter. He spends most of his time tinkering with inventions that never work (or work disastrously) and making trouble with his infinitely more charming friend and fellow lifer, Savvy. After Leo's latest experiment goes catastrophically wrong, he discovers a series of secret passages beneath the school that can only be unlocked by the sharpest of wits and a little help from Leo's school lessons. Leo hopes the network of tunnels will lead him to the academy's infamous archives where he hopes to discover the identities of his parents and the reason he's an orphan in the first place. Instead, he finds that his past and possibly even his future is somehow linked to the innovative Wynn Toys company, whose genius president died mysteriously years before. Leo must use his skills as an inventor to revive the toy company, oust its dastardly leader, and discover the fate of his real family. LEO, Inventor Extraordinaire is: Loosely based on the life of Leonardo Da Vinci Part The DaVinci Code for kids, part Renaissance-influenced action-adventure Filled with robots, wacky inventions, mathematical puzzles, and slap-stick humor Great for fans of The Invention of Hugo Cabret and The Copernicus Legacy series"--Ages 8-12Accelerated Reader AR- Available copies: 1 / Total copies: 1
