The Random House book Light and Liberty: Reflections on the Pursuit of Happiness is a remarkable feat of scholarship. Editor Eric S. Petersen, after 10 years of studying Thomas Jefferson's reports, state papers, speeches, and twenty thousand letters, has elegantly woven together Jefferson's writings into essays of profound wisdom on how to lead a meaningful life, both as individuals and in our life as a nation.
