I review content regularly.Signed EditionsHidden FiguresAuthor: Margot Lee ShetterlyIllustrations by Description: Basis for the award winning motion picture. A signed edition and true story. One of the more important, interesting, and not oft told from the history of our space program. -- During WWII, women mathematicians were brought into the aeronautics and jet propulsion programs to augment the lack of male counterparts. Some of these women continued on into the space program at NASA. Called "human computers", they worked with little more than slide rules, pencil, and paper to solve some of the greatest human achievements of their time, and human history. Many of these women were also black... in an age of legal segregation, let alone bias against women in the work place. Hidden Figures follows the path of four women (Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson, and Christine Darden) from WWII, the Cold War, through the civil rights movement. This book is far more extensive in detail and time span than the movie. I haven't read the book yet, but the movie was fantastic for what it was able to cover. ***Please note the screen shots from the movie are not included in the book and there only for context.Condition: SEALED in original plastic, with original shipping box.This Fine Leather Book Features:Top grade, gold embossed/ornamented leatherGilded page ends to protect against dust and moistureDecorative end papersAcid neutral archival paper to last generations
