Brandt (editor, National Geographic books) explores a little-known aspect of Jefferson's body of work, using excerpts from Jefferson's voluminous travel diaries and personal correspondence to follow his journeys throughout Europe during his five-year residency in Paris. The writings give readers a new perspective on European life in the 18th century and on the beginnings of the French Revolution. Brandt provides an introduction and commentary throughout the selections. Annotation �2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
