This was an awesome introduction to various influential people---a great way to learn about historical figures in bite-sized amounts. I also loved seeing the reasoning behind the choices and the contributing writers' insight.

A nice summary of the greats who've influenced the changing of times.

More of a coffee table kind of book.
