  Explaining his ratings, the author presents 100 people who swayed the destinies of millions of people, determined the rise and fall of civilizations or transformed the course of history. The author presents a new perspective on history, gathering together the vital facts about the world's greatest religious and political leaders, inventors, writers philosphers, explorers, artists and innovators from Asoka to Zoroaster. The writer's argument may challenge and perhaps convince readers: neither Jesus nor Marx, but Muhammad, is designated as the most influential person in human history.
