Soldier of fortune, spy, womanizer, brilliant scientist, intriguer, autocrat, inventor, adventurer, an American expatriated to England who did his most productive scientific work in Munich and who died in France, a man devoted to relieving the suffering of the poor~Rumford was all this and more, and Sanborn Brown's new biography makes clear that all these aspects merge into a whole human being. The man who conducted experiments on the caloric theory of heat and the ladies' man are one and the same, not different faces of a fractured personality. The book traces Rumford's life from his birth in a farmhouse near Boston through his education, his marriage to the richest widow in New Hampshire (at age 19), his espionage work for the Tories during the American Revolution, his understandable move to the European Continent after that revolution. Rumford was knighted by George III, and applied himself to reorganizing the Bavarian army. He later settled in England, founded the Royal Institution, and dallied with the high~born Lady Palmerston. The book closes with Rumford's move to Paris, his marriage to one of France's richest women, Mme. Lavoisier, widow of the famous chemist, and his subsequent death. Through all these years and events, Rumford also pursued his work in Natural Philosophy~science. Sanborn Brown, himself a physicist, lucidly explains Rumford's contributions to science. He points out that although Rumford's contributions to the physics of heat and light were important to "pure" science, Rumford himself was more interested in their applications to producing better kitchen stoves, for feeding the poor, and for making better lamps. In the same way, his studies on the mechanisms of heat flow had important theoretical implications, but they were presented to the public by Rumford~who, like Franklin, was one of the original popularizers of science~in terms of fireplace construction, making a better cup of coffee, and producing warmer clothes. …
