<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dave M, post: 609561, member: 17469&quot;]It looks like the interview is available online at <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=105012144" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=105012144" rel="nofollow">http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=105012144</a> if you want to listen. I&#039;m not completely sure how much of the interview echoes the book. I really recommend listening to the interview - I was on the edge of my car seat <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> as they discussed Newton&#039;s reform of monetary systems (the silver standard wasn&#039;t working too well, he was responsible for quite a few changes at the time, recalling all coinage and re-minting, discussions about paper vs silver vs gold, etc). The interview had just a small section about this counterfeiter, and apparently the author was responsible for finding a cache of Newton&#039;s paperwork as relates to the trial of the counterfeiter, and that created a fair bit of the content for the book.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry I can&#039;t be much more explicit about the book, that&#039;s about all I know so far.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dave[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
