Zusammenfassung:"In The Other Presidency, Patrick Spero resurrects an overlooked but essential part of Thomas Jefferson's life. For nearly seventeen years, Jefferson served as President of the American Philosophical Society (APS), the nation's first learned society and one dedicated to promoting new research in the young republic, especially in the sciences. He did so while also serving as Vice President and President of the United States. As Spero shows in this short but important work, Jefferson used his various positions to solidify the Society's foundation and, in turn, shape the course of American science."--Page [4] of cover
