Ben R. Rich (born June 18, 1925, Manila, Phil.—died Jan. 5, 1995, Los Angeles, Calif., U.S.), U.S. engineer who conducted top secret research on advanced military aircraft while working at Lockheed Aircraft Corporation (now Lockheed Martin Corporation) under an alias, which he was required to adopt for security reasons. Rich, known as Ben Dover, helped develop more than 25 airplanes, notably the F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter-bomber, designed to elude detection on enemy radar screens; the SR-71 Blackbird, a reconnaissance craft that cruised at three times the speed of sound; and the U-2, the spy plane that flew missions over the Soviet Union from 1956 to 1960.
After earning a B.S. (1949) from the University of California, Berkeley, and an M.S. (1950) from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), Rich joined Lockheed. They were soon sent to its Advanced Development Projects (ADP) division, Burbank, Calif., under aircraft designer Kelly Johnson. ADP was known as the “Skunk Works,” both because of its location near a malodorous plastics factory and because it had been founded during World War II as a secret installation, much like a moonshine still of similar name operated by a character in the famous Li’l Abner comic strip.&nbsp;
In his 1994 autobiography, Skunk Works: A Personal Memoir of My Years at Lockheed, Rich recounted that the technology for his crowning achievement, the F-117, virtually “fell into my lap” after a Soviet scientist openly published (1975) an idea that led to the technology for the stealth fighter-bomber.
Rich, who retired in 1991 as head of the ADP, was a recipient in 1994 of the Distinguished Service Medal, the highest U.S. military honor for a civilian. In his memory, the Ben Rich Lockheed Martin Chair of Advanced Aerospace Technologies was established at UCLA’s school of engineering.

Charles Robert Darwin was an English naturalist, eminent as a collector and geologist, who proposed and provided scientific evidence that all species of life have evolved over time from common ancestors through the process he called natural selection. The fact that evolution occurs became accepted by the scientific community and the general public in his lifetime, while his theory of natural selection came to be widely seen as the primary explanation of the process of evolution in the 1930s and now forms the basis of modern evolutionary theory. In modified form, Darwin’s scientific discovery remains the foundation of biology, as it provides a unifying logical explanation for the diversity of life.&nbsp;
Darwin developed his interest in natural history while studying medicine at Edinburgh University, then theology at Cambridge. His five-year voyage on the Beagle established him as a geologist whose observations and theories supported Charles Lyell’s uniformitarian ideas, and the publication of his journal of the voyage made him famous as a popular author. Puzzled by the geographical distribution of wildlife and fossils he collected on the voyage, Darwin investigated the transmutation of species and conceived his theory of natural selection in 1838. Although he discussed his ideas with several naturalists, he needed time for extensive research, and his geological work had priority. He was writing up his theory in 1858 when Alfred Russel Wallace sent him an essay that described the same idea, prompting the immediate joint publication of both of their theories.&nbsp;
His 1859 book On the Origin of Species established evolution by common descent as the dominant scientific explanation of diversification in nature. He examined human evolution and sexual selection in The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex, followed by The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals. His research on plants was published in a series of books, and in his final book, he examined earthworms and their effect on soil.&nbsp;
In recognition of Darwin’s pre-eminence, he was one of only five 19th-century UK non-royal personages to be honored by a state funeral and was buried in Westminster Abbey, close to John Herschel and Isaac Newton. He was the father of naturalist Francis Darwin, astronomer George Darwin, and of politician, economist, and eugenicist Leonard Darwin.

In 2021, his retelling of the story of Roosevelt and polio for young-adult readers was published as Master of His Fate: Roosevelt's Rise from Polio to the Presidency (Henry Holt).
In the same year, he published Sing to the Colors: A Writer Explores Two Centuries at the University of Michigan (the University of Michigan Press, 2021), a collection of narratives about the history of his alma mater. With the syndicated cartoonist Dave Coverly, Tobin has also written two picture books for children; Sue MacDonald Had a Book (Henry Holt, 2009) and The Very Inappropriate Word (Henry Holt, 2013).

His next major project was a narrative account of Franklin Roosevelt's struggle with the aftermath of poliomyelitis from 1921 to 1932, based chiefly on archival research at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library in Hyde Park, New York. It was published by Simon &amp; Schuster in 2013 as The Man He Became: How FDR Defied Polio to Win the Presidency. In 2021 he published a wholly new version for young-adult readers, Master of His Fate: Roosevelt's Rise from Polio to the Presidency (Henry Holt).
Tobin has often written about the history of the University of Michigan, chiefly for websites and magazines published by the University.

Two Nineteenth-century Scientists. They're at the forefront of scientific progress. This is the story of how they discovered a Field—and not just any old field, but an Electromagnetic one. They discovered that the world is actually made up of invisible forces and that electricity and magnetism are examples of them.&nbsp;
What's more, these scientists (whom we shall refer to as F and M for convenience) proved that the world isn't made up of solid matter—it's a gas consisting of tiny particles that can be in more than one place at the same time! Life before this discovery was dull, compared with life after.

Nancy Forbes gives us a deep insight into the lives and works of Faraday and Maxwell. She shows us how these two geniuses revolutionized our understanding of the electromagnetic field. Their groundbreaking research laid the foundation for much of modern physics and technology.

Understanding the Genius of Faraday and Maxwell

The book highlights the importance of perseverance. Faraday and Maxwell faced numerous challenges and setbacks in their research. However, they never gave up. Their determination and resilience are truly inspiring. It's a great reminder that success often comes to those who are willing to keep trying, no matter what.

The Power of Perseverance

Faraday, Maxwell, and the Electromagnetic Field also emphasizes the power of collaboration in scientific research. Faraday and Maxwell's work was not done in isolation. They built upon each other's ideas, leading to groundbreaking discoveries. This shows the importance of teamwork and collaboration in any field.

The Beauty of Collaboration

Forbes also explores the impact of Faraday and Maxwell's discoveries on society. Their work has had far-reaching implications, influencing everything from electricity and telecommunications to modern physics. It's a fascinating look at how scientific discoveries can shape the world.

The Impact of Science on Society

Finally, the book gives us a glimpse into the personal lives of Faraday and Maxwell. It shows us that they were not just brilliant scientists, but also complex individuals with their own hopes, fears, and struggles. This humanizes them and makes their achievements even more remarkable.
