So I like reading about interesting and or inspiring people. This book seemed to offer me lots of interesting people to read on.
The modern part of this is a little misleading - there are some people who lived quite some time ago. I suppose John Canning was going for modern era - my mistake.
I really enjoyed this week as even well known characters (think Thomas Edison) came even more alive for me as the author delved into personal lives as well as societal contributions. There were musicians, inventors, artists, etc.
The only downside was that this is a THICK book, it will take you a while to read if you find it in the library and have other things going on in life.
Verdict: Read it. Great people tend to inspire others to improve their lives and expand their minds.
