For those of you who missed the live streaming, here is the YouTube video of my September 1st interview about Lincoln: The Fire of Genius on “A House Divided” with Daniel Weinberg, owner of the Abraham Lincoln Book Shop in Chicago.
We had a lively discussion about the origins of the book, how I balanced dual careers (one paying, one not) in science and Lincoln studies, and tons of stories about where Lincoln gained his knowledge of science and technology.
There is still time to order a book from the Abraham Lincoln Book Shop and get a signed bookplate along with your copy.
I have quite a few upcoming programs, so check out my Media page for the full list. Some will be virtual, some in-person, and some open to the general public. I hope to see you at one or more of them (since my book is so far-reaching, I’ll be doing different talks catered to each venue).
Lincoln: The Fire of Genius: How Abraham Lincoln’s Commitment to Science and Technology Helped Modernize America was released on September 1, 2022.
The book is available for purchase at all bookseller outlets. Limited signed copies are available via this website. The book also listed on Goodreads, the database where I keep track of my reading. Click on the “Want to Read” button to put it on your reading list.
