In his new biography of Thomas Jefferson, Jon Meacham (the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of American Lion and Franklin and Winston) brings to life an extraordinary man and his remarkable times. Philosophers think; politicians maneuver, Meacham says. Jefferson's genius was that he was both and could do both, often simultaneously. Just weeks after another hand-wringing election season, Meacham presents Jefferson as the most successful political leader of the early republic-and perhaps in all of American history. Presented by University Book Store. Prime tickets are $35 and include a copy of Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power (Random House) and admission to the event.
