Heroes and Jerks Ed Daly

Of the 113 billion people who have lived on Earth, an elite few stand out as particularly heroic or especially awful-those who have had a lasting impact on humankind. Perhaps it was for creating a vaccine that saved civilizations, or conversely, causing a genocide that destroyed generations. Perhaps it was was for inventing denim jeans (hero) or writing the song "We Built This City" (most definitely a jerk). This book examines the best and worst over time, those who have most influenced the world as we know it. From two million B. C. to 2019 - readers will laugh, learn, and time-hop their way through human history. Each hero and jerk is explained in quick, easily digestible Top 10 Lists. From world leaders to Hollywood actors to even a ten-year-old student, each entry is infused with humor, heart, and a modern approach to learning history. So sit back and enjoy the definitive ranking of human existence-Heroes and Jerks.
