Hardback. Condition: Good. Some men and women allowed history to take bigger, more decisive steps than others: scientists, researchers and explorers that were able to push the frontiers of human knowledge; brilliant inventors to whom we owe many comforts and objects that make our life simpler every day, from the radio to the Internet; artists, musicians and stylists, sublime interpreters of beauty and elegance; great industrialists and political leaders; characters with a strong spirituality that have become an example for millions of people and activists who fought relentlessly against prejudice and injustice. This books tells the stories of the great characters of the twentieth and the twenty-first centuries and it explains how and why, each in its own way, they contributed to changing the world. From Le Corbusier, one of the founders of modern architecture, and Neil Armstrong, the first terrestrial being to step on the moon, to the French stylist Christian Dior or to Mark Zuckerberg, the inventor of Facebook. Exceptional and fascinating lives, in which talent and "vocation" emerge from the very start, are depicted next to biographies that appeared normal for a long time, until it was History to call: from the revolutionary passion of Fidel Castro to the antiracist one of Nelson Mandela; from the innate genius of Pablo Picasso to Stephen Hawking, astrophysicist who won't stop enquiring the boundaries of the universe. Also characters on the exact opposite side are included, such as Adolf Hitler and Osama Bin Laden. That's because the world does not always change towards a better state: on its path, History sometimes stumbles and falls in horrific abysses. Only knowing its dark side we can make sure that these falls won't happen again. SELLING POINTS: . Features scientists, researchers, and explorers who pushed the frontiers of human knowledge; brilliant inventors; artists, musicians, and stylists; great industrialists and politicians; and activists and spiritual leaders.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Thomas Sankara (1949-1987) fue el presidente de Burkina Faso de 1983 a 1987. Con una potente combinación de carisma personal y fuertes convicciones marxistas y pan-africanistas, su gobierno llevó a cabo iniciativas contra la corrupción y el imperialismo francés y mejoró la educación, la sanidad, la agricultura y la situación de la mujer, nacionalizando las tierras, las minas y los servicios públicos. Sus logros le valieron el apelativo de «Che Guevara africano». Su programa revolucionario provocó una fuerte oposición de los líderes tradicionales de la pequeña pero poderosa clase media, así como el recelo de Francia. Estos factores provocaron su caída y asesinato en un sangriento golpe de Estado el 15 de octubre de 1987. «Deberías saber quién es Sankara. Que esta biografía contribuya a difundir la memoria de un hombre y de una revolución probablemente únicos, que durante cuatro años fue abrazada por uno de los países más pobres y periféricos del mundo, levantando esperanzas en muchos africanos y otros lugares» - Marinella Correggia «A Thomas Sankara no le hubiera gustado ser recordado con nombres en plazas o calles, o como icono de la revolución africana. Se sentiría más a gusto sabiendo que la vocación y la aportación que le costó la vida siguen viviendo en el trabajo diario de hormiga de comunidades constituidas de mujeres y hombres que luchan diariamente por la solidaridad y la justicia. En África y en todo el mundo» - Giovanni Giacopuzzi *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
