  The 1000 most influential people in world history are catalogued in this reference book which details who they were, what they did and why they are important. They are the key people who've really made the world what it is: those geniuses who evolved our thought, defined our religions, invented our tools, found or conquered empires - and the artists whose words, music or images are celebrated from one generation to the next. The personalities included range from Buddha to Bill Gates, Alexander to Catherine the Great, Demosthenes to Thatcher and Reagan, Aristotle to Sartre or Russell and Mohammed to Samuel Beckett.
