The lives and works of 100 inspiring ecological, social, and spiritual visionaries, from Gandhi to Muhammad Yunus, from Rachel Carson to Wangari Maathai. Inspiring Leaders for a better world.

Visionaries brings together the lives and works of one hundred great men and women who offer inspiration, hope, and healing. The twentieth century was marked by wars, dictatorship, and environmental destruction, yet many individual kept alive the hope of a sane and sustainable future through their example, ideas, and vision. Their influence helped bring to an end colonialism and imperialism, apartheid, and authoritarian regimes, and they also helped foster the resurgence of an ecological, holistic, and spiritual vision that increasingly resonates in the world today. Many struggled for years in obscurity; at times their leadership has been recognized with the highest honors.
