Product Description
Benjamin Franklin famously flew a kite in a thunderstorm in 1752, an occasion on which he proved that lightning and electricity were one. But was Franklin's story merely a hoax to get revenge on the scientific establishment? Bolt of Fate investigates this and other 18th century experiments.
