The Kid Legend Series is amazing and this latest title is no exception. It is divided into four parts (Tech Revolution; Seas, Skies, and Outer Space; Cracking Codes and Saving Lives; and Trailblazers) and includes such innovators as Grace Hopper, Jacques Cousteau, Hedy Lamarr; and Alvin Ailey. All the names were familiar to me, but some readers may not recognize Reshma Saujani and William Kamkwamba.
