WoodBenjamin Franklin is perhaps the most remarkable figure in American history: the greatest statesman of his age, he played a pivotal role in the formation of the American republic. He was also a pioneering scientist, a bestselling author, the countrys first postmaster general, a printer, a bon vivant, a diplomat, a ladies man, and a moralistand the most prominent celebrity of the eighteenth century.Franklin was, however, a man of vast contradictions, as Edmund Morgan demonstrates in this brilliant biography. A reluctant revolutionary, Franklin had desperately wished to preserve the British Empire, and he mourned the break even as he led the fight for American independence. Despite his passion for science, Franklin viewed his groundbreaking experiments as secondary to his civic duties. And although he helped to draft both the Declaration of Independence and the American Constitution, he had personally hoped that the new American government would take a different shape. Unraveling the enigma of Franklins character, Morgan shows that he was the rare individual who consistently placed the public interest before his own desires.Written by one of our greatest historians, Benjamin Franklin offers a provocative portrait of Americas most extraordinary patriot. 606 $aInventors$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aPrinters$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aScientists$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aStatesmen$zUnited States$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aInventors 615 0$aPrinters 615 0$aScientists 615 0$aStatesmen 676 $a973.3/092 676 $aB 700 $aMorgan$b Edmund S$g(Edmund Sears),$f1916-$0626395 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454758903321 996 $aBenjamin Franklin$92075476 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04466nam 22006975 450 001 9910742494103321 005 20230929132421.0 010 $a3-031-33826-X 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-031-33826-7 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC30723325 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL30723325 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-031-33826-7 035 $a(PPN)272267171 035 $a(CKB)28104053800041 035 $a(EXLCZ)9928104053800041 100 $a20230829d2023 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$a6th EAI International Conference on Robotic Sensor Networks /$fedited by Predrag S.

The conference explores the integration of networks and robotic technologies, which has become a topic of increasing interest for both researchers and developers from academic fields and industries worldwide. The authors posit that big networks will be the main approach to the next generation of robotic research, with the explosive number of networks models and increasing computational power of computers significantly extending the number of potential applications for robotic technologies while also bringing new challenges to the networking community. The conference provided a platform for researchers to share up-to-date scientific achievements in this field. The conference took place at Swansea University, Wales, Great Britain. Presents the proceedings from 6th EAI International Conference on Robotic Sensor Networks (ROSENET 2022); Features papers on topics ranging from robotics in medicine to robotics in rescue and surveillance; Includes perspectives from a multi-disciplinary selection of global researchers, academics, and professionals. 410 0$aEAI/Springer Innovations in Communication and Computing,$x2522-8609 606 $aTelecommunication 606 $aAutomatic control 606 $aRobotics 606 $aAutomation 606 $aComputational intelligence 606 $aCooperating objects (Computer systems) 606 $aCommunications Engineering, Networks 606 $aControl, Robotics, Automation 606 $aComputational Intelligence 606 $aCyber-Physical Systems 615 0$aTelecommunication. 615 0$aAutomatic control. 615 0$aRobotics. 615 0$aAutomation. 615 0$aComputational intelligence. 615 0$aCooperating objects (Computer systems) 615 14$aCommunications Engineering, Networks. 615 24$aControl, Robotics, Automation. 615 24$aComputational Intelligence. 615 24$aCyber-Physical Systems. 676 $a629.892 676 $a006.25 702 $aStanimirovic$b Predrag S. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910742494103321 996 $a6th EAI International Conference on Robotic Sensor Networks$93559149 997 $aUNINA
