so, this morning i saw another one of google's tributes to people of great achievements. im always impressed by the creative direction and genreal appeal to get people to know their history and commemorate the achievements of people who have shaped our current condition. what i always cannot stand though is how narrow their approach is. i would love to see them acknowledge the people who have shaped my history...african leaders who made the contribution that allows me to sit in front of this screen and stand on my virtual soap box.
the inventions of the muslims, the healing of the chinese and the folklore of african legends and the list goes on. who knows maybe i can land a job at google and be involved in the selection process of these unique commemorations.
http://www.1001inventions.com/ is an awesome website that celebrates the heritage and achievements of muslims over the past 100 years and more. i still dont have the book but will definately get one for my children as they should know they are within a richly cultural, scientific and mathematical environment.
