Martians with Color Pencils

According to a popular anecdote recounted by Ede Teller, Hungarian-Americans' were often called Martians for being aliens of the community at the time. These Martians have contributed notably not only to the visual arts in Hollywood, and to science in the atomic age, but also to architecture around the world. Martians with Slide-rules reported about the contributions of ten Hungarians, who were well-known international figures in their time, but their work remained unknown in Hungary.
