Product Description
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. Invisible Giants includes: James Agee (Sven Birkets)
