The Forgotten Past

This book explores little events in history and people who may have been forgotten due to other people being credited with their achievements. The author uses a breezy style, short chapters and plenty of illustrations, making it appealing for readers in search of a light book that can be dipped in an out of. However, for more serious readers and for those in search of the verified fact I wouldn't recommend it as checking the sources at the end I found them mainly to consist of Wikipedia articles and top ten lists from other internet sites. There were some interesting articles but others I knew about or had already read as being refuted elsewhere. A good idea for a book, and certainly use ideas but don't just rehash other articles in your own style without additional research.
