My library has only one book, "Thomas Harriot: Science Pioneer" and it's classified as a Kids book.

blurb about the book:

Although during his lifetime the bulk of his work went unpublished, Renaissance scholar Thomas Harriot is now recognized as a major contributor to many fields of learning, such as mathematics, astronomy, and botany. Harriot's theories, inventions, and discoveries were as groundbreaking as they were controversial. From his daring exploration of the New World to his scientific findings on subjects as diverse as alchemy and the moons of Jupiter, Harriot's accomplishments reflect the endless curiosity of a remarkable mind. The author draws on the diary entries of Harriot's close friend, Thomas Buckner, and Harriot's own maps, diagrams, and handwritten notes, to capture the authentic flavor of an extraordinary time, as well as the enigmatic character of a genius.

From the very moment of our birth, we were played upon. And we were conquered, gentlemen, just as surely as the Algonkins. Why? Because without our consent, without the consent of all men, a society--a church--a monarchy--cannot hope to endure. It follows, then, that said consent must be secured by the quickest and surest means to hand.
