Description
Can you guess what Leonardo da Vinci and Steve Jobs have in common? Or Angelina Jolie and Mother Teresa?
- Discover how these individuals changed the course of history with their ideas, discoveries, actions, and inventions, from Johannes Gutenberg to Emma Watson.
- Short biographies of two seemingly unrelated figures are presented side by side and then open up to a spread discussing their common traits and how their discoveries and actions paved the way for each other and future activists.
- Each pair is followed by a timeline showing where the individual figures existed in history, along with other important world events.
The book ends with a world map, plotting the location of each person discussed, showing how greatness comes from every corner of the world.
