(2) YA Adapted by Sarah L. Thomson. This adaptation of Meacham's Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power follows Jefferson from privileged youth to presidency, showing how intelligence and curiosity led to his penning of the Declaration of Independence, interest in exploring the American West, and skill in manipulating the political system. Acknowledgment of Jefferson's less admirable actions modulates the adulatory tone. Handsome and engaging. Reading list, timeline, websites. Bib., ind.
