Product Description
From Murasaki Shikibu (978-1015), author of the world's first full-length novel, to Tiger Woods, the youngest player and first of African descent to win the U.S. Masters golf tournament, the millennium has produced countless history makers. In this spectacular, international book highlighting 1,000 of these men and women, the editors take their cue from pop artist Andy Warhol, who said, "In the future, everyone will be world famous for 15 minutes." Their challenge was to include the most famous (and infamous) individuals, choosing among scientists, explorers, writers, artists, royalty, dictators, movie stars, tragic heroes, and unspeakable villains.
This fascinating book is packed chock full of big, gorgeous photos and illustrations. Each entry is listed chronologically, and includes name, birth and death dates, nationality and achievement, and a brief biography with cross-references to linked information. A continuous time line running along the bottom of every page tracks the millennium's history, and feature boxes zero in on important larger events, such as the Industrial Revolution and the surrealism art and literature movement. The editors make no claims to be all-inclusive; rather, they hope readers will be spurred on to pursue deeper explorations of the people and events that made their mark. This ultimate "who's who" is an excellent resource for the whole family. (Ages 8 and older) --Emilie Coulter
