Mass market paperback, 148 pages

The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent condition, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments! 

NOTE: This book is rare but in poor condition; an ex-library copy, the cover has remaining stamps, stickers, and stains, and the binding is severely broken. 

How could it be that a middle-aged man flying a kite in a thunderstorm should bring down with it not only the lightning but victory for the American Colonies in the Revolution?

To find the answer, travel with Isaac Asimov as he ventures from the frontiers of the New World to the frontiers of science to the shores of the Delaware to the courts of France and England.
