As the year 2000 dawned, the fi rst thing many of us did was check to see whether our computers were still working! This set the tone for the coming decade; and whilst our fears of the Y2K bug were unfounded, there were plenty more to keep us occupied, and scared.

This is a fascinating journey into the history of the Noughties – a decade that changed the world. Spanning global terrorism and the threat of global warming, to the alleged Satanic subplots of Harry Potter, this book explores the cultural history of an uncertain decade.

the

Noughties w 2000-2009

Tim Footman

They

were also a time of

contradiction, with

increased connectivity and

empowerment enjoyed by millions

on the one hand coupled with

increased isolation and disempow-

erment experienced by others on

the wrong side of the

technological divide.

From

the spectre of global

terrorism to the threat of

global warming, from the

crouching dragon of China to the

growling bear of Russia, from the

alleged Satanic subplots of Harry

Potter to Simon Cowell’s shark-like

grimace, The Noughties were, for

many, a time of uncertainty

and gnawing unease.

Who discovered America? Who invented the light bulb? If you thought the answers to these questions were Christopher Columbus and Thomas Edison, you may want to think again…

Looking beyond popular perception and the accepted version of events, Inventors and Impostors uncovers long-lost dreams, dramas and dilemmas, exploring why particular individuals ‘won the prize’ while others were consigned to the shadows of history.

DANIEL DIEHL AND MARK P DONNELLY

How History Forgot the True Heroes

of Invention and Discovery

INVENTORS

IMPOSTORSINVENTORS&

Everyone knows � omas

Edison invented the light

bulb. It’s one of those facts you learn

early on, right up there with the fact

that bees make honey and the Earth

is round.

But what if he didn’t? And what if

Alexander Graham Bell also didn’t

invent the telephone, nor James Watt

the steam engine?

History has been cruel to some of our

greatest inventors, denied the credit

they deserve by impostors hailed as

heroes. Who are the unsung heroes

denied their place in the world?

In this fascinating book, Daniel

Diehl and Mark P Donnelly reveal

the forgotten geniuses behind some

of the world’s greatest inventions and

discoveries. Closely researched, this

remarkable tale is told with the pace

of a novel – easy to read and

impossible to put down.

Genius is one percent insp

iration,

and ninety-nine percent

perspiration
