| Description | Tales about people whose names have sunk to the bottom—where no one always thinks to look. The first book for adults in the SamTam Books portfolio. They invented alphabets and built houses in permafrost, described ancient labyrinths and hoverflies, studied fireclays and Japanese stress, invented plastic, and translated the Book of Changes. They preserved ancient bell chimes and solved the problem of the radiative equilibrium of stellar atmospheres, raised multi-ton sunken ships from the seabed, discovered the secrets of fine-wool sheep breeding, built an electrostatic space sail, and wrote a tram master's handbook. It would seem that such people should be cherished, their names remembered. But time decreed otherwise, and their stories almost disappeared, leaving no trace. This book is about them. |
