Author: CBS NEWS Title: People of the Century
Description: Simon and Schuster, 1999. Pp: 448. This is the century in which we split the atom, probed the psyche, spliced genes and cloned a sheep. We invented plastic, the silicon chip, and rock and roll. We build airplanes, rockets, satellites, televisions, computers, and atom bombs. We overthrew our inherited ideas about logic, language, learning, mathematics, economics, and even space and time. This monumental century has been shaped by many, but PEOPLE OF THE CENTURY selects the one hundred most influential leaders, artists, intellects, and heroes. Sure to spark lively debates and compelling arguments, the book's erudite, highly literate profiles, all accompanied by a captivating array of photographs, were crafted by this eras finest writers from Salman Rushdie, Henry Kissinger, Richard Rhodes, Elie Weisel to Robert Hughes and many more.
