release notes/summary (backcover information)
History records the accomplishments of
individuals. For successive generations of
Americans, iconic figures such as Abraham
Lincoln, Susan B. Anthony, Thomas Edison, and
Emily Dickinson have been household names and
role models, inspiring us all by the lessons their
lives teach us. But some great Americans, just as
worthy, never attain this recognition. Because
history is as fallible as the people who record
it, many of those who shaped the nation and its
future have receded from public memory. In
celebration of these lives-and to demonstrate the
lasting power history's giants have over their
successors-Oxford University Press recently asked
fifty accomplished personalities from a diverse
range of industries and interests to each select a
person from the 24-volume American National
Biography that they felt deserved more attention.
The biographies of these forgotten figures appear
alongside the often-personal comments of their
selectors in Invisible Giants, a varied and lively
collection of portraits celebrating history's
forgotten and fading heroes. In Invisible Giants we
discover the man who inspired Sherwin Nuland to
become a doctor, the writer Jacques Barzun considers
America's first cultural critic, and the woman who
taught Tina Brown to bare her teeth. We learn of the
poetry recited to Henry Louis Gates, Jr., as a boy,
the magazine Helen Gurley Brown required every one
of her editors to subscribe to, and the book Andy
Rooney deems "better than the Bible and easier to
understand." Whether encountering these figures for
the first time or uncovering surprising details in
the lives you thought you knew, today's public
thinkers guide us on a journey into the deep folds of
our rich biographical tapestry. Edited by Mark Carnes
and published with the American Council of Learned
Societies, Invisible Giants introduces one of the
nation's most treasured resources--The American
National Biography--to a broad audience by
presenting the architects of our country's past
through the eyes of the architects of its future.
