"I read this, along with Boorstin's The Discoverers, back in high school. I learned a lot from it, but as I've grown I look back at both volumes as incurably Eurocentric. The Discoverers in particular lionizes colonization."
"Having re-read this book after a lapse of many years, I still find it to be an excellent guide to the great creative minds of history, especially Western history. The earlier chapters and history were of much more interest to me; my interest waned considerably as I got near the end."
"This lengthy book examines those who 'create' - dance, music, writing, painting, sculpting, architecture and those who think deep thoughts, and how those crafts have changed over time.It is a splendid book, and the very best part is the very beginning - his careful explanation of the worlds larger religions. I have never read anything clearer and more helpful."
