But the scientist, whose political writings have inflamed his foes previously, isn't perturbed. \u003cbr\u003e  It will be fine', Joseph Priestley tells his worried wife.  They have been content to hang me in effigy for years.'\u003cbr\u003e  They may be done pretending', Mary retorts.\u003cbr\u003e Thus, the world premiere of Anthony Clarvoe's historical drama--  Gunpowder Joe: Joseph Priestley, Pennsylvania and the American Experiment' --gets off to a fast start...\u003cbr\u003e In the end, the Priestleys flee, and the rioters torch their residence, which contains the scientist's laboratory and library....\u003cbr\u003e It quickly establishes how well connected Priestley became after settling in Pennsylvania. He soon had friends--and foes--in high places. In one scene, he and President John Adams are having tea when Priestley suggests that Adams appoint Thomas Cooper, another English expatriate who has settled in Northumberland, to a federal post.\u003cbr\u003e The president reacts sharply.  I would never give such a position to a foreigner', Adams declares, adding that such appointments should be given only to  loyal Americans'....\u003cbr\u003e Animated, occasionally humorous and always enlightening, Clarvoe's drama shatters any notion that Priestley, internationally known for discovering oxygen in 1774, spent his last decade living quietly in Northumberland content to pursue new discoveries. It shows how he helped strengthen our First Amendment right to say things about our government that even the president may not like.\"\u003cbr\u003e John L Moore, The Daily Item\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 78\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.16 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 27, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48333558284537,"sku":"9780881457162","price":22.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/3Be8f-ceDZ9780881457162_3362f28c-ac54-421e-bf0e-3994056e87cd.webp?v=1777449099","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/gunpowder-joe-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
