Overlooked A Celebration of Remarkable, Underappreciated People
4 stars
What interesting people did not get #obituaries in the #NewYorkTimes? A few are collected in Overlooked: A Celebration of Remarkable, Underappreciated People Who Broke the Rules and Changed the World by Amisha Padnani. One could argue whether the first woman to survive going over Niagara Falls in a barrel actually “changed the world,” but many in this book did, whether their names are now familiar, like Alan Turing, or have fallen into obscurity. This collection shows how personal editorial choices are. #netgalley shortestrevs.com/blog/overlooked-a-celebration-of-remarkable-underappreciated-people/
