Riassunto

The flush toilet. The invention of plastic. Man's first steps on the moon. These are just some of the 100 most important events, discoveries and magnificent moments of the past 1,000 years selected - and ranked - by the editors of LIFE magazine in this highly readable and lushly illustrated tour of the millennium. Working with dozens of experts around the world, LIFE's editors have put together an encyclopedic and entertaining account of human progress from 1001 to the present. The two separate lists - one for the 100 most important events and one for the 100 most important people - include many surprises, alon with some of the millenium's best-known personalities and developments. This is social history as you've never seen it before, a book you'll want to save for the next 1,000 years.
