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).

My interview will be broadcast live on the ALBS Facebook Page on September 1st and will be on the ALBS website soon after. You can order the book in advance here. Books sold on that day (including pre-ordered) will receive a special “day of release” book plate signed by me!

I’m also scheduled to do a series of presentations at various venues in September, October, and November – check out my Media page for the full list (with new ones added daily).

Release date for Lincoln: The Fire of Genius is almost here. On September 1, 2022, the book will be in stores and will be shipped to those people who pre-ordered it. September 1st will also be when I will appear on the Abraham Lincoln Book Shop’s “A House Divided,” where ALBS’s Dan Weinberg will interview me about the book. More info at this ALBS page.

You can get more info on the Abraham Lincoln Book Shop website, but Dan will be interviewing me live about the book starting at 3:30 pm CST (that’s 4:30 pm ET for us East Coast folks, 2:30 pm Mountain Time, and 1:30 pm Pacific Time).

I expect that Dan will be asking me about how I transitioned from scientist to Lincoln scholar, as well as about how Lincoln’s commitment to science and technology both continued a trend and set the United States on a new path toward a more modern country. He may even ask me how it came to be that Sidney Blumenthal would write the foreword for the book. All that and I’m sure a whole lot more will happen on September 1st starting at 3:30 pm Central Time.

My interview will be broadcast live on the ALBS Facebook Page on September 1st and will be on the ALBS website soon after. You can order the book in advance here. Books sold on that day (including pre-ordered) will receive a special “day of release” book plate signed by me!

The book is available for pre-order through your favorite bookseller. I’m especially happy that you can buy it at any independent bookshop! Release date is scheduled for September 1, 2022.
