from Harper Perennial
Price: $11.16

Customer Review:

Ben Wiker has written an important and entertaining work.
This book is important, because it details the thoughts of 15 people who have so thoroughly shaped the way most of us think about things, that we don't even realize their influence on us. Most of us haven't read these books, but all of... more info
