This powerful, epic biography, unfolds the adventurous life journey of John Adams, the brilliant, fiercely independent, often irascible, always honest Yankee patriot who spared nothing in his zeal for the American Revolution; who rose to become the second president of the United States and saved the country from blundering into an unnecessary war; who was learned beyond all but a few and regarded by some as 'out of his senses'; and whose marriage to the wise and valiant Abigail Adams is one of the moving love stories in American history.This is history on a grand scale-a book about politics and war and social issues, but also about human nature, love, religious faith, virtue, ambition, friendship, and betrayal, and the far-reaching consequences of noble ideas. Above all, John Adams is an enthralling, often surprising story of one of the most important and fascinating Americans who ever lived. This is history on a grand scale-a sweeping narrative that delves into the complexities of politics, war, and social issues, while also exploring the intimate realms of human nature, love, religious faith, virtue, ambition, friendship, and betrayal. The far-reaching consequences of noble ideas are woven throughout the story, illustrating the profound impact of John Adams’ vision and values on the trajectory of a fledgling nation. At the heart of this tale is the enduring partnership between John and Abigail Adams, a union that exemplifies the strength and resilience of two remarkable individuals whose mutual respect, shared intellect, and deep love for one another carried them through the trials and tribulations of public life. Their correspondence, filled with reflections on the events of their time, offers a window into the emotional and intellectual depths of a relationship that transcended the personal and became a cornerstone of the American experiment. John Adams emerges not only as a key figure in the American Revolution but also as a man of principle whose life was a testament to the enduring power of integrity and moral courage. His story is an enthralling, often surprising account of one of the most important and fascinating Americans who ever lived-a man whose legacy continues to inspire and challenge us to this day. Through his triumphs and struggles, his wisdom and flaws, Adams’ life serves as a powerful reminder of the complexities of leadership and the enduring significance of the ideas that gave birth to a nation.

  • How Mathematicians Think
    William Byers
    To many outsiders, mathematicians appear to think like computers, grimly grinding away with a strict formal logic and moving methodically--even algorithmically--from one black-and-white deduction to another. Yet mathematicians often describe their most important breakthroughs as creative, intuitive responses to ambiguity, contradiction, and paradox. A unique examination of this...
