Focusing on the life and contributions of Thomas Hariot, this biography explores his diverse roles as an astronomer, mathematician, and ethnographer during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Notable for his observations of American Indians and the introduction of the potato to Europe, Hariot also pioneered the theory of refraction and created the first telescopic drawing of the moon. Originally written in 1876 but published posthumously in 1900, this limited edition biography sheds light on his significant yet often overlooked legacy.
