Product Details

From the back cover: “Modern history is filled with stories of people whose lives have changed the world. Some excelled in sports and transformed our ideas of what athletes can achieve. Others made scientific or technical contributions that touched the lives of all who came after them. Still others were political and social leaders who changed the way we view the world.

“The Trailblazers of the Modern World series closely examines the lives of such people—showing what challenges they faced, how they attained their fame, and why we are better today for their efforts.

“Engaging prose, selections from primary source documents, and enlightening illustrations, including historic photos, help the reader understand the magnitude of these trailblazers. Each book includes a timeline, a glossary, a list of books and Web sites for more information, and an index.”
