5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Choice but need to learn more.., April 6 2004
By julie (Malaysia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 100, Revised - Paper (Paperback)
As a Muslim,I fully agree with his opinion.Muhammad is the perfect & most influential person,and this is so true.Even though u're not a Muslim,if u read about him,u'll never find anything bad on him.What he did is always for good & became a success.Maybe Hart should learn & understand more about Islam & Muhammad before write about Muhammad.Muhammad didn't write the Qoran.He's a prophet & pass God's words(Allah) to guide people.And believe me,if everyone in the world learn from Muhammad,we'll live in peace,harmony&success.Read Qoran after u read Hart's book,believe me....

This review is from: The Hundred: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History (Paperback)
Its an excellent book, I'm completly agree with Dr. Micheal Hart and his sequence, there are a bit of controversial issue but one can easily neglect them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Uh, the structure of DNA?, Mar 11 2004
By C. Jones (Utah) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: 100, Revised - Paper (Paperback)
I'll admit, I have just read the table of contents. But I question the exclusion from this list of James Watson and Francis Crick (and maybe Franklin and Wilkins), who discovered the structure of DNA and the way it codes for genetic information. Surely their discovery has had a large impact on history in just a short time, more so than that individuals like JFK and Mao. Other than that, I'm very tempted to buy a copy anyway.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun, but the standard of comparison is skewed and biased
In this book, Michael Hart, a scientist by trade, presents HIS opinion of the 100 most important people in history (almost half of whom, not surprisingly, were scientists). Read more

These mini-biographies are fascinating to read, and while reading, you can pick up a surprising amount of world history. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, Informative, Modified
I know of at least two editions of this book. One, written prior to the fall of communism, placed such figures as Lenin, Marx, Mao and others higher on the list. Read more
