BIF Book Group Has Launched: Join us on Ning!

Our BIF Book Group has launched on Ning with Steven Johnson's The Invention of Air. Through a little-known historical story, Steven explores very BIF-like themes that have long engaged him: how innovative ideas emerge and spread in a society. The book chronicles the efforts of 18th century scientist and philosopher Joseph Priestly. A protégé of Benjamin Franklin, friend of Thomas Jefferson and radical thinker who played key roles in the invention of ecosystem science, the discovery of oxygen, the founding of the and the intellectual development of the United States, Priestly exerted profound influence on the shape and course of America's great experiment in nation-building. A truly fascinating read.

Join the BIF Book Group and let's get talking!
