The world at your fingertips; this book presents on a silver dish all the important stuff you need to know about foreigners, their countries, lifestyles, taboos, politics, dating and way of life. In addition, it offers an intelligent analysis of the American way of life, how we do business, our relationships with each other, techniques we use to succeed in our career. In brief, a most informative, and fun book I have read in a decade. One particular section is unusual: The roster of names (national and international) of the most important personalities and events of our time. It is a serious work, however, the great sense of humor of Maximillien de Lafayette adds an extra dimension of delight and fun to the book. It is a wonderful book. You will love it. I give this book 5 stars.-
My Favorite Book of the Season!
With great interest and enormous joy I read this book and could not put it
down. It is fun, fun, fun. I did not know that Estee Lauder perfume "Country
Mist" failed miserably in Germany because the word MIST means manure in
German, until I read this book! Surprised to read in the book that some French
names raise red flag In France. For instance, Chantal means barracuda,
Bernadette is innocent, Angele (Angela) in decent, Brigitte is unpredictable,
Lou Lou is a teaser and Maurice is a playboy! The book is filled with
captivating stories from around the world. The author in a bursting simplicity
explains the characteristic features and personality of Americans and people
in 135 countries! WOW! It is overwhelming. Ranging from tradition, social
etiquette and love to the bizarre, the secret and taboos. I was particularly
taken by the list of the outstanding people of our time and those who made a
direct impact on our life, starting with George Bush and Hillary Clinton and
ending with Madonna and Al Pacino. The roster of the most important American
celebrities and the best and worst of our politicians is a coup de grace. Read
the book. You got to read it; it is enjoyable and so much entertaining. This
is my favorite book of the Season. By Shoshanna Rosentein, WJNA.

The Ultimate Book of World Lists: The best and worst
people, ideas, talents and accomplishments of our time (2 Volumes, 1,480
pages) by Maximillien de Lafayette.
Unusual, explosive and the largest of its kind! Thousands of names and
hundreds of lists from the United States and around the world in 300 fields.
An unusual and completely different approach to lists of all lists. A massive
1,480 pages in 2 volumes. It includes the most inconceivable, unimaginable,
and multi-varied choice of lists of people, ideas and events. Lists nobody
ever thought about or tried to compile. Large lists, ranging from people who
are screwing up America, the best and worst politicians and leaders, the most
outrageous celebrities, to hilarious lists such the dumbest celebrities, stars
and politicians' quotes and behaviors, list of full-of-themselves famous
people, the most hated and not to be trusted officials, femmes fatales, best
pick-up joints, most influential people, scandalous online Instant Messages
from politicians to their lovers, and powerful tycoons who are changing the
course of our lives, every day! However, the book remains authoritative in
substance, since extensive biographies of the brightest minds and geniuses of
our time are amply provided.
The book contains an international poll/survey conducted in 123 countries, on
percentage of people ( in the United States and around the globe) who love and
hate their boss, couples talking during intercourse, women showing cleavage,
tele-evangelists, Clinton, Nixon, Bush, Jay Leno, David Letterman, Oprah,
Christians, Muslims, and Jews. It contains an amazing array of topics and
statistics. On one hand it is academically authoritative and informative, and
on the other hand, shocking and explosive.
Nevertheless, it provides an honest picture of the world we live in, and of
those who are shaping our lives. It is the largest book of its kind,
containing the most lists ever published.

THE
WORLD'S LISTS OF BEST AND WORST by Maximillien De Lafayette
(Paperback - Nov 19,
2007)
740 pages, shipped within 24 hours. Click on icon or link to get your copy
If you are a list fanatic, this book is for you. The author is in a privileged position to write the book and compile all those lists. Maximillien de Lafayette has traveled through forty-six countries. He is fluent in seven languages, and the author of numerous books. The lists are not generated solely by Mr. De Lafayette. They are a prism of global opinions, scholarly research, essays, polls, and surveys, by the world media and various journalists, as well as the general public. The commentaries are all by the author, though, and they are priceless and opinionated as his work always is, intelligent, and sparkling with wit. The book has just about every list you can wish for. It spans politics, war, art, literature, entertainment, nations, ethnicity, and gender. Ideas, mistakes, customs, and funny events, mix up with Nobel Prize winners and the most hated people in history.

ENCYCLOPEDIA OF THE 21st CENTURY: PROFILES AND BIOGRAPHIES OF THE FIRST DECADE, by the author extraordinaire, Maximillien de Lafayette
This is not a book about
celebrities, stars, the rich, or the famous. Of course, many of the people
included in this book had achieved such status - but the status is the least
important part of their lives. Rather, this book is about living people of our
time who matter so much, who contribute, invent, create, cure, or nourish our
souls and our minds, that we know that our world would not have been the same
if they did not exist.
The author had been innovative in his approach. Instead of uniform,
traditional style that is highly informative but somewhat dry, he allowed the
people in this book to speak for themselves. They are worth listening to, as
they describe their lives, their parents, the love of their spouse, the joy of
raising their children, even the bonding to their beloved pets. The
personalities we view as titans become endearingly human.
It covers so many fields, that it should be a wonderful treat to jump from one
subject to another, learn new things, and enjoy the ones we already love.
Zoology, art, human rights, medicine, science, physiology, music, peace,
literature, cinema, philanthropy, media, theater, poetry, architecture, and
languages are just a part of it. It covers all human endeavor; it is indeed a
gigantic biographical encyclopedia. To the young, it is a learning tool, to
the scholar, it is an essential reference.
Surprisingly, there are so many people in this book. Every page you will open
at random will show you a story that will warm your heart, lift your spirits,
and inspire you to be all that you could be. And I believe that it is also
eminently suitable as reading matter for any
The
Ultimate Book of World Lists: The best and worst people, ideas, talents and
accomplishments of our time (2 Volumes, 1,480 pages) by Maximillien de
Lafayette.
