Hedy's Folly: The Life and Breakthrough Inventions of Hedy Lamarr, the Most Beautiful Woman in the World

Spectrum. If, like me, you know nothing about the scientific achievements of the late actress, Hedy Lamarr, consider reading Richard Rhodes’ book, Hedy's Folly: The Life and Breakthrough Inventions of Hedy Lamarr, the Most Beautiful Woman in the World. Lamarr worked with composer George Antheil and they came up with a technology during World War II that is used today in cell phones: frequency hopping. Thanks to Rhodes’ lively writing, this book will entertain interested readers from beginning to end. Rating: Three-star (Recommended) Click here to purchase Hedy’s Folly from amazon.com.
