<p>In this unique book on the history of science, Green writes e-mails to Benjamin Franklin, who died in 1790 but whom Green imagines being now brought back to life, about developments over the past two centuries: I've written these emails assuming that you carried out the wish you described in 1773: I should prefer to any ordinary death, being immersed in a cask of Madeira wine . . . to be later recalled to life by the solar warmth of my dear country. These e-mails inform Franklin of progress in science, medicine and technology from his time until now. Includes more than seventy portraits of Franklin's friends and relatives, and of those researchers who have led medical and scientific advances during the past two centuries. Illustrations.</p>
