Merriam's a great guy

Dr. Merriam was a professor I had at Missouri Southern State College. I had to have an international studies course, and signed up for Intercultural Communications. I'm glad I did. Dr. Merriam made coming to class fun, even though it had nothing to do with my major. His book was published just after graduated, or I'd have it signed. Next time I'm on campus, maybe I will. He's been all over the world and is very knowledgeable on a wide range of topics. He really knows his stuff. I hope he writes more books of this caliber.

This is a must have for history buffs!

For one to make an annual selection of a person that is representative of human history at that moment can be a daunting task. (Just ask the editors of Time!) So, imagine what a monumental undertaking it would be to choose individuals who stand out in human history for each of the last 1,000 years! In his latest work, People of the Millennium, Dr. Merriam accepted the aforementioned undertaking and created a MUST HAVE reference manual for anyone interested in history, law, communication, women's rights, et cetera. Dr. Merriam's selections are interesting and thought-provoking. Of course there are obvious choices for the years that are considered pivotal in human history, but what about the "off" years? This is where Dr. Merriam's talent, knowledge, and yes, bravery shines through. Dr. Merriam boldly selects some historical unknowns who deserve reexamination. Some of his selections will spark debate, some will not surprise, but all have clearly been well thought out and analyzed.
