Description

Book Synopsis: Now that we’ve successfully navigated the end of the millennium, it would be interesting to know who the real frontrunners were in that thousand-year marathon of the human race. Who had the greater impact, Martin Luther or Isaac Newton? Thomas Aquinas or Charles Darwin? Beethoven or Bach? But how do we establish a yardstick for measuring such a weighty subject? The authors of 1,000 Years, 1,000 People have come up with a method that grades the candidates according to five key criteria: lasting influence, contribution to wisdom and/or beauty, influence on contemporaries, singularity of contribution, and charisma. Then, they’ve sifted through the centuries and rated thousands of candidates. You may be surprised to learn that some of the major figures of our own time did not make the cut, while those in less high-profile, publicity-driven ages and places turned out to be millennial superstars. Or you may be astonished by the relative positions of, say, Jane Addams, John Marshall, and Bert.
