"Installs Émilie in the front row of the pantheon of Enlightenment natural philosophers." --The London Times
"Fast-paced, engrossing, and enlightening, Passionate Minds is a 'can't put it down' read-- a melange of colorful, fascinating characters and ideas captured in an irresistible mix." --Barbara Goldsmith, author of Obsessive Genius: The Inner World of Marie Curie
"Highly entertaining...and holds the most agreeable surprises...A story well worth the retelling, and Bodanis tells it vividly." --London Sunday Times
"Riveting, moving, often hilarious, Passionate Minds is gritty social history and hard science and romance all rolled into one. Both fast-paced and profound, Passionate Minds is an intellectual rollercoaster ride that puts the excitement back into the Enlightenment." --Emma Donoghue, author of Slammerkin
"This is an absorbing tale based on extensive research, and it takes full advantage of both heroes' propensity for coining quotable witticisms. Bodanis eloquently evokes women's restricted lives during the 18th century." --The Guardian
"Bodanis is good at explaining complex science and skillful in weaving together two unconventional, complex, and intellectually reforming lives ... David Bodanis has taken up one of the great stories of the period, a potent mix of romance, science and history...There is never a dull moment." --Telegraph
