100 Hispanics You Should Know
About this book
Meet 100 Hispanics from around the world and throughout history who have lived amazing lives.

Many of these individuals have made significant contributions to science, literature, politics, and other fields of human endeavour. Some more notorious, but equally fascinating characters are included as well. Brief biographical sketches are accompanied by bibliographies of resources, where readers can find more information.
