Bestselling historian Peter Moore traces how Enlightenment ideas were exported from Britain and put into practice in America - where they became the most successful export of all time, the American Dream'Absorbing... fascinating... eloquent' THE TIMES'Engaging and thoroughly reader-friendly' TELEGRAPH'Wonderfully absorbing and stimulating' SARAH BAKEWELLEnlightenment Britain was ablaze with ambition and energy. Great writers like Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Paine, Samuel Johnson, John Wilkes and Catharine Macaulay were part of a pioneering generation that shaped and inspired the American Dream. For the first time, bestselling historian Peter Moore vividly traces the transatlantic friendships and revolutionary ideas that inspired the Declaration of Independence.'Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness' is the best-known phrase from that document, which was drafted by Thomas Jefferson in the summer of 1776. Today this line is evoked as a shorthand for that ideal we call the American Dream. But the vision it encapsulates ¿ of a free and happy world ¿ has its roots in Great Britain.This book tells the story of the years that preceded the Declaration. From the accession of King George III to the astonishing tale of John Wilkes, from the notorious Stamp Act to the Boston Tea Party, it shows how Britain and her American Colonies broke apart. Following a star cast of Enlightenment characters, through their letters, arguments and rivalries, it reveals the rise of a rebellious and daring ideology ¿ one that gave rise to the democratic birth of the United States and the principles we live by to this day.'Deft insights and in clear prose' ALAN TAYLOR'A gripping account' STELLA TILLYARD'Rollicking...compulsive readability' WASHINGTON POST'A great read' LADY HALE

Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts galt ein Sturm noch als Strafgericht Gottes, und wer wissen wollte, wie das Wetter wird, hielt sich gern Frösche im Glas. Aberglaube und religiöse Dogmen standen dem Fortschritt der Meteorologie im Weg. Doch mit der unerschrockenen Neugier aufgeklärter Geister machte sich eine Generation von Wissenschaftspionieren daran, die Geheimnisse der Atmosphäre zu lüften. Sie klassifizierten Wolken, beschrieben die Stärke des Windes, erforschten eisige Höhen im Heißluftballon, entdeckten, wie sich Elektrizität zur Übermittlung von Wetterwarnungen einsetzen ließ, und entschlüsselten die rätselhaften Wirbel der Luftströme. Mancher zahlte einen hohen Preis dafür - Existenzen wurden ruiniert, Reputationen zerstört, Konkurrenten aus dem Weg geräumt.Lebendig und kenntnisreich erzählt Peter Moore die wechselhafte Geschichte von den stürmischen Anfängen eines der selbstverständlichsten Dinge auf der Welt: der Wetterprognose.
