What is Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit: Thermometer Innovator about?

Gabriel Fahrenheit was a Dutch physicist who invented the temperature scale that bears his name. Born in 1686 in Danzig (now Poland), he spent most of his life in Holland where he built precision scientific instruments such as alcohol and mercury thermometers. His most important contribution was the design of the Fahrenheit scale, still used in the United States, which set the freezing point of water at 32°F and the boiling point at 212°F.
