World Leaders
Chiefs of State
(E?)(L?) https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/world-leaders-1/index.html
The CIA publishes and updates the online directory of Chiefs of State and Cabinet Members of Foreign Governments regularly. The directory is intended to be used primarily as a reference aid and includes as many governments of the world as is considered practical, some of them not officially recognized by the United States.
Governments are listed in alphabetical order according to the most commonly used version of each country's name. The spelling of the personal names in this directory follows transliteration systems generally agreed upon by US Government agencies, except in the cases in which officials have stated a preference for alternate spellings of their names.
NOTE: Although the head of the central bank is listed for each country, in most cases he or she is not a Cabinet member. Ambassadors to the United States and Permanent Representatives to the UN, New York, have also been included.

Kurzbeschreibung
Hätten die Gebrüder Wright wohl jemals ihren ersten Flugversuch unternommen, wenn es nicht Vorbilder wie "Ikarus" oder "Daedalus" gegeben hätte. Wie viele Menschen hätten ohne den "Marlboro Man" nie mit dem Rauchen angefangen? Und welche Frau träumt nicht davon, einmal einen Mann zu treffen wie Bond, "James Bond"? Allan Lazar, Dan Larlan und Jeremy Salter haben eine einzigartige Liste erstellt: Die 101 einflussreichsten Personen aus Literatur, Film, Fernsehen, Mythologie und Märchen. Alle haben sie eines gemeinsam: Es hat sie nie gegeben. Und dennoch haben sie unsere Kultur geprägt und beeinflussen oft heute noch unser Leben. Wer sind sie, wer hat sie erfunden, warum sind sie so mächtig - die spannendste Hitliste, die es bisher in Buchformat gab!

Kurzbeschreibung
Was trieb den islamischen Gelehrten "Ibn Battuta" an, im 14. Jahrhundert vom westafrikanischen Timbuktu über Peking bis nach Indonesien zu reisen? Und ist in Wahrheit ein chinesischer Admiral der eigentliche Entdecker Amerikas? In sorgfältig recherchierten und packend geschriebenen Texten berichtet der Autor von Missionaren wie "Wilhelm von Rubruk" und Forschungsreisenden wie "Wilhelm von Humboldt", von Eroberern wie "Francisco Pizarro" und Seefahrern wie "James Cook". Dabei beleuchtet er nicht nur das abenteuerliche Leben dieser Personen, sondern fragt stets nach der wahren historischen Bedeutung ihrer Unternehmungen und zeichnet so ein neues Bild des Zeitalters der großen Entdeckungen.
