Synopsis
“Biography lovers may find this a great start in understanding the long-term impacts that individuals can have on culture, society, and history.” —BooklistWhat does Charles Darwin have in common with Johannes Gutenberg—or with Jackson Pollock, Martin Luther, Betty Friedan, Steve Jobs, and DJ Kool Herc? They were the disruptors, upending cultural, technical, spiritual, or scientific paradigms and altering the way we live forever. In this book, bestselling author Alan Axelrod presents engaging profiles, accompanied by original line drawings, of fifty visionaries who rewrote the rules and changed the world—with innovations ranging from the printing press to the fight for women’s equality to the smartphone and the invention of hip-hop.
