  • Discover how these individuals changed the course of history with their ideas, discoveries, actions, and inventions, from Johannes Gutenberg to Emma Watson.
  • Short biographies of two seemingly unrelated figures are presented side by side and then open up to a spread discussing their common traits and how their discoveries and actions paved the way for each other and future activists.

The book ends with a world map, plotting the location of each person discussed, showing how greatness comes from every corner of the world.
