If we want to imagine how the world is going to change, we need to look at the minds that are shaping it. '100 Global Minds' introduces us to the world's most innovative and inspiring thinkers and examines the scope and range of their influence. Using an algorithm developed by the Institute for Scientific Innovation in Turin, which signals names frequently referenced outside a primary field of interest, the author has brought together people who have traversed the boundaries of disciplines to become a 'global' thinker. Focusing on a the arts and humanities, and with specially commissioned illustrations of each person, this is a reference book with a difference, that will inspire you like no other.
