           Dray, Philip.  Stealing God's thunder.  Prince Frederick, Md. :

                Recorded Books, 2006.  Narrated by David Chandler.

                Franklin, more often viewed as a statesman and founding

                father, was also a man of science. Among his many

                inventions, it was the lightning rod--Franklin’s attempt to

                control the electricity of the heavens--that caused the

                greatest controversy. In a time where everything from

                weather to illness was blamed on sin, his device brought

                questions: "Did humanity have the right to defend itself...?

                If so, how was.

                Simon & Schuster Audio ; Recorded Books, p2005.  Read by

                multiple biography centered on how Abraham Lincoln's mastery

                of men shaped the most significant presidency in the

                nation's history. Historian Goodwin illuminates Lincoln's

                political genius, as the one-term congressman rises from

                obscurity to prevail over three gifted rivals to become

                president. When Lincoln emerged as the victor at the

                Republican National Convention, his rivals were dismayed.

                Throughout the turbulent 1850s, each had sought the

                presidency as the conflict over slavery led to civil war.

                That Lincoln succeeded was because of his extraordinary

                ability to put himself in the place of other men, to

                experience what they were feeling, to understand their

                motives and desires. It was this that enabled Lincoln to

                cabinet in history, and ma.
