He was an eminent scholar who absorbed himself in his work, yet he also possessed an allure that endeared him to his mentors and colleagues-not to mention a host of female admirers. But, most notably, Roget made lists.From the age of eight, Roget kept these lists with the intention of ordering the chaotic world around him. After his father's death, his mother became overbearing and despondent. Soon, his sister also descended into mental illness. Despite these tragedies, Roget lived a colorful life full of unexpected twists and discoveries-including narrowly avoiding jail in Napoleon's France, assisting famed physician Thomas Beddoes by personally testing the effects of laughing gas, and inventing the slide rule.Evocative and entertaining, The Man Who Made Lists lets readers join Roget on his worldly adventures and emotional journeys. This rich narrative explores the power of words and the everlasting legacy of a rediscovered genius. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Roget, Peter Mark,|d1779-1869. 600 10 Roget, Peter Mark,|d1779-1869.|tThesaurus of English words and phrases. 650 0 Lexicographers|zGreat Britain|vBiography. 650 0 Philologists|zGreat Britain|vBiography. 650 0 Physicians|zGreat Britain|vBiography. 650 0 English language|xSynonyms and antonyms|xLexicography. 651 0 Great Britain|vBiography. 700 1 Hoye, Stephen. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 10756694?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ ttm_9781400126538_180.jpeg
