Similarly, [[Anna-Maria Ravnopolska-Dean]] is one of the best-known harpists today. Bulgarians have made valuable contributions to world culture in modern times as well. [[Julia Kristeva]] and [[Tzvetan Todorov]] were among the most influential European philosophers in the second half of the 20th century. The artist [[Christo]] is among the most famous representatives of [[environmental art]], with projects such as the [[Wrapped Reichstag]]. Bulgarians in the diaspora have also been active. American scientists and inventors of Bulgarian descent include [[John Atanasoff]], [[Peter Petroff]], and [[Assen Jordanoff]]. Bulgarian-American [[Stephane Groueff]] wrote the celebrated book ''Manhattan Project'', about the making of the first [[atomic bomb]] and also penned ''Crown of Thorns'', a biography of [[Tsar]] [[Boris III of Bulgaria]].
