[From back cover] Following up their popular London Street Names, Michael Baker and Hilary Bates Neary present in this book stories from the lives of more than 100 people, both the influential and the infamous, who have lived near the forks of the Thames from before the city?s founding to recent days. Among them are individuals who will take you to the penal colony of Van Diemen?s Land; to Selma, Alabama, to march alongside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.; to home plate in the 1909 World Series; to the trenches of worn-torn France; into the bed chambers of mysteriously burgled Londoners; and even to the banks of the river Tay, for the last fatal duel in Canada. Representing professions and avocations ranging from architect to zoologist, the cast of characters includes the venerable and the villainous, community leaders and curious minds, artists and entrepreneurs, visionaries and spies, and even a world-famous dance band. They all share London as their one-time home or final resting place. 100 Fascinating Londoners draws on the research of more than 50 enthusiastic researchers and local historians who share their knowledge of London?s past. The result is a biographical banquet that offers an entertaining and informative introduction to the city?s history and to the wide array of characters who once called London home. MICHAEL BAKER is the Regional History Curator at Museum London and the editor of Downtown London: Layers of Time. HILARY BATES NEARY is a writer and researcher on Ontario local history and chair of the Historic Sites Committee of the London Public Library Board. Their first collaboration was as co-editors of the popular London Street Names.

Highlights from American Greats (from the rear outer cover): "It remains what it was, the greatest of bridges, the Brooklyn Bridge, made in America, its appeal defying time, a symbol now no less than ever of brave work nobly done." - David McCullough on the Brooklyn Bridge. "There is only one Chez Panisse. In this age of multiple restaurants it has no clones in London, Las Vegas, or Tokyo. Because Alice Waters has more than money on her mind." - Ruth Reichl on Chez Panisse. "Duke Ellington liked to claim he won his job at the Cotton Club, in December 1927, because he showed up three hours late for the audition, as did the owner, who heard only Ellington and non of his rivals." - Gary Giddins on the Duke Ellington Orchestra. "They [the editors] had uncanny ears for a false note; they sometimes surprised you by accepting a daring or experimental piece; they manifested a cloistered virtue, in a fallen, hustling world, that made appearing anywhere else feel like a dangerous trespass." - John Updike on The New Yorker. "Our original goal was simple, and only in retrospect, revolutionary: to use television to help children learn. We knew young children watched a great deal of television in the years before they went to school. We also knew they liked cartoons, game shows, and situation comedies; that they responded to slapstick humor, music with a beat, and above all - sadly - fast-paced, oft-repeated commercials." - Joan Ganz Cooney on Sesame Street. "So here I was, my anxiety over the flight spilling all over Danny DeVito, my fears at the time very real. Danny responded, 'Look there's no way you're going to crash because I am the LUCKIEST MAN ALIVE, and since I need you to do this work with me when you come back, there is no way you don't make it back.' 'Great,' I said. 'I can just picture it; the plane is on fire and as we crash I'm screaming, "Ha, ha Danny. Your luck has run out.' " - James L. Brooks on television situation comedy. "What made the Wright brothers' successful early experiments so remarkable is that neither had any academic education in physics. They were entirely self-taught. The difference between them and other small town entrepreneurs was they had a genius for learning, and for identifying new problems to solve." - John Keegan on the Wright Brothers. "West Point has always seemed to me to be unusually close to Main Street in Middle America; it is a place without glitz, which without consciously trying, reflects both the norm, the center, and the diversity of America. Again and again it turns out good people of significant personal modesty and a powerful sense of obligation." - David Halberstam on West Point.
