Onuf, to present an absorbing and revealing character study that finally clarifies the philosophy of Thomas Jefferson. Tracing Jefferson's development and maturation from his youth to his old age, the authors explore what they call the "empire" of Jefferson's imagination--his expansive state of mind born of the intellectual influences and life experiences that led him into public life as a modern avatar of the enlightenment, who often likened himself to an ancient figure--"the most blessed of the patriarchs."   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.46092 Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 973.46092 Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.46092 Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.46092 Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.46092 Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.46092 Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList
