A fresh approach to a timely topic, Stolen Science is a fascinating
compendium of stories of uncredited scientists and inventors throughout
the ages.
Over the centuries, women, people from underrepresented communities, and
immigrants overcame prejudices and social obstacles to make remarkable
discoveries in science--but they weren't the ones to receive credit in
history books. People with more power, money, and prestige were
remembered as the inventor of the telephone, the scientists who decoded
the structure of DNA, and the doctor who discovered the cause of yellow
fever. This book aims to set the record straight and celebrate the
nearly forgotten inventors and scientists who shaped our world today.
