50 Canadians Who Changed the World

Author of "How the Scots Invented Canada", Ken McGoogan takes us on a compelling journey through the lives of 50 accomplished Canadians born in the 20th century. These figures have changed - and, in many cases, continue to change - the great wide world. He discovers an astonishing array of activists, humanitarians, visionaries, scientists, and inventors: from Tommy Douglas, Pierre Trudeau, John Kenneth Galbraith, Naomi Klein, Marshall McLuhan, Stephen Lewis, and Roméo Dallaire to Glenn Gould, David Suzuki, Mike Lazaridis, Margaret Atwood, Oscar Peterson, Leonard Cohen, and many others. In witty and insightful prose, Ken McGoogan shows us why and how Canadians have become global influencers and agents of progressive change. The diversity that emerges in these pages defines who we are as citizens, illuminating our ability to make a difference and shape our tomorrow.
