Benjamin Thompson, Count Rumford by Sanborn C. Brown MIT Press, 1979 Count Rumford was one of the most fascinating figures of science. On the one side he was a gifted experimenter and a prolific inventor who helped establish the foundations of modern physics; on the other he was a scheming adventurer, a cynical soldier of fortune, and a spy whose name was anathema to the patriots of the American Revolution. In this biography Professor Brown tells the story of Rumford's dual personality and exciting career. More about Rumford on the website Order "Benjamin Thompson, Count Rumford" Today!
