Books by Michael Kempe, Marshall Yarbrough

1. Michael Kempe, The Best of all Possible Worlds: A Life of Leibniz in Seven Pivotal Days .  A good book, I had not realized the full import of Leibniz in the history of binary computation, his understanding of “novels as models,” his theory of social distancing during epidemics, or just how much attention he devoted to the historical episode of a woman as Pope.
