Love the pictures and the writing, but some of the ideas weren't really ones that changed the world, like transcendentalism? Nihilism? Well these are useful to know if you're a philosophy or politics expert, but seriously, can you call them one of the 100 world-changing ideas of all time???
A quick concise history of the human race. A good read and interesting topics chosen. Lots of philosophical and economical ideas included.
