To mark the dawn of the new millennium, Wachtel talked to some of the most inspiring and influential thinkers of our time -- people who have forever changed their area of specialty and influenced the world around them. As she writes in her introduction, "I wanted to interview people who had shaped the last century and whose influence would continue into the nextI hoped to have wide-ranging conversations with some of the most inspiring men and women of our time, people who've made a difference." And what an outstanding list of people she met: Jonathan Miller internationally acclaimed theatre and opera director, writer, member of Beyond the Fringe comedy troupe Jane Goodall primatologist and scientist best known for her work with chimpanzees Bernardo Bertolucci director whose films including the Oscar-winning The Last Emperor and Last Tango in Paris George Steiner teacher, literary critic and theorist Desmond Tutu former Archbishop of South Africa and co-chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Susan Sontag writer of novels, essays, works of non-fiction, and plays.
