Thomas Jefferson

America's Philosopher-King

By: Max Lerner

Over the course of more than six decades as an author, journalist, and professor, Max Lerner studied and assessed many presidents, yet Thomas Jefferson received his most sustained attention. To Lerner, Jefferson came closest in the American context to Plato's "philosopher-king," the ideal thinker and leader. Because of his keen sense of Jefferson's virtues and his unique place in United States history, Lerner began work on a book about Jefferson in 1957, rewriting it several times throughout his life, always with the intention of introducing general readers to "a thinker and public figure of enduring pertinence." In this volume, Lerner uses the facts of Jefferson's life and work as the springboard to insightful analysis and informed assessment. In considering Jefferson, Lerner combines biographical information, historical background, and analytical commentary. The result is a biographical-interpretive volume, a primer about Jefferson that not only describes his accomplishments, but discusses his problems and failures. As political figures have declined in esteem in recent decades, the media has probed deeper into previously private lives. Historians, biographers, and others have revealed personal details about deceased prominent figures. Two centuries after he helped create America, Jefferson remains a figure of enduring fascination within academic circles and beyond. Max Lerner helps explain and clarify not only this unending fascination, but the timeless relevance of the nation's devoutly democratic yet singularly authentic "philosopher-king.

Globaloonies 5: Joey and Thomas Jefferson

Joey’s Wacky Adventures

By: Max Candee

Some guys will go to any lengths to impress a girl, and 11-year-old Joey Papagopolis is no exception — especially if the girl is his new (and very cute) student-teacher from Japan. Just how far does Joey go to impress her? Would you believe about two hundred years back in time? That’s right! Thanks to Joey’s amazing Big Red Button, time and space travel can and does happen at the most unexpected moments. This particular adventure takes Joey and his pet chameleon, Larry, to Monticello, the Virginia home of President Thomas Jefferson! Will Joey get extra credit for being able to describe the taste of the president’s homemade vanilla ice cream recipe, or will Joey get detention for leaving squished worms on the classroom floor? And will Larry get the only presidential seal of approval ever given to a chameleon? You can find the answers to these questions and more in the hilarious and highly educational JOEY AND THOMAS JEFFERSON. Humorous illustrations by Anne Zimanski.
