A New Way To Know: Curiosity Isn't a Flaw, It's a Revolution. (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798999431387)

In a world ruled by kings, queens, and strict rules, young Francis Bacon is anything but ordinary. While other boys memorize Latin verbs and follow orders without question, Francis asks the questions no one else dares to ask: Why does water move the way it does? How do bees know exactly where to go? And what if the world isn't exactly what the books say it is?

From the bustling halls of Queen Elizabeth's court to the risky friendships with ambitious nobles, Francis must navigate loss, loyalty, and the temptations of power. Along the way, he discovers that curiosity can be both dangerous and brilliant-and that true understanding comes from observing, experimenting, and thinking for yourself.

Part historical adventure, part scientific discovery, part coming-of-age story, A New Way to Know is the story of a boy who would grow up to change how the world learns forever.
