Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Joseph Dixon: One of the World Makers A short time ago Mr. Andrew Carnegie supplied us a list of twenty men who have practically made the civilized world what it is today. The publication of this list created a good deal more than a ripple on the literary sea. Among others, I was invited to supply a list of twenty men who had influenced the world most, and here is the list of the great men who, in my mind, are best entitled to the title of world-makers: 1. Pericles, who took the treasure of Delos - a fund raised for war purposes - and used it to build the most beautiful city the world has ever seen. The influence of Pericles - in architecture, sculpture, oratory, literature, the drama, physical culture - still endures and animates and inspires every worker in the arts. 2. Aristotle, the world´s first scientist, to whom very much of our scientific terminology now traces. Aristotle organized the first herbarium, the first geological collection, the first zoological garden. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
