Sinopsis
This title looks at 75 individuals whose greatest achievements occurred or were recognized later in life. The people profiled come from different countries and diverse social backgrounds. Their varied areas of achievement include the fields of science, philosophy, business, art, music, popular entertainment and humanitarian pursuits. Some, such as Harry Truman and Raymond Kroc (the founder of McDonalds), changed careers late in life. Others such as botanist George Washington Carver, worked for years in a chosen profession, finding recognition only later. Some made remarkable comebacks such as film director Luis Bunuel who worked in relative obscurity until his sixties when his movies received international acclaim.

De la contraportada
Late Bloomers looks at 75 remarkable individuals whose greatest achievements occurred or were recognized in the second half of their lives. Although these late bloomers come from various countries and social backgrounds, they have one thing in common: They all succeeded in making their later years productive and fulfilling.
Through entertaining profiles by veteran New Yorker writer Brendan Gill, the stories of these resilient people unfold. Many, including Julia Child, didn't begin producing their life's work until middle age. Some, such as Harry Truman, changed careers after many years. Still others, such as actor Boris Karloff, worked for years in their chosen professions before finding recognition.
At once timely and timeless, Late Bloomers is an inspirational book for everyone who wants to believe that it's never too late.
