Innovative Thinkers are Inspiring

I starting looking through this book thinking I would just find one or two interesting stories. I could not put it down. Names that really didn't make big headlines but absolutely brilliant and forward thinking messages poured through these short biographies. I have been inspired to research some of the ideas indepth. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for hope in a difficult world. These people were brilliant and offer us a new look at the future.

An inspiring volume

VISIONARIES: THE 20TH CENTURY'S 100 MOST IMPORTANT INSPIRATIONAL LEADERS provides high school and college-level students with a series of essays which considers the lasting influence of 20th century visionaries who helped change the world. Many struggled for years in obscurity, operating behind the scenes of common leadership: others have been largely recognized. From writers, scientists and educators to world leaders and spiritual figures, essays analyze the lives, teachings and works of these ecological, spiritual visionaries. Both school and general-interest collections will find it an inspiring volume as appropriate for classroom assignment as for leisure reading. Diane C. Donovan California Bookwatch
