Ingenious : [sound recording]  a biography of Benjamin Franklin, scientist / by Munson, Richard,author.(CARDINAL)717635; Brown, Keith,narrator.(CARDINAL)387814;
Read by Keith Brown.Benjamin Franklin was one of the preeminent scientists of his time. Driven by curiosity, he conducted cutting-edge research on electricity, heat, ocean currents, weather patterns, chemical bonds, and plants. But today, Franklin is remembered more for his political prowess and diplomatic achievements than his scientific creativity. Richard Munson recovers this vital part of Franklin's story, reveals his modern relevance, and offers a compelling portrait of a shrewd experimenter, clever innovator, and visionary physicist whose fame opened doors to negotiate French support and funding for American independence.
