Seth Godin, marketing guru and author of the
Purple Cow. I love this book for its small size and refreshing view on what is wrong with traditional marketing. He has a very cool perspective on what makes a product/company great.
Michael Nichols, National Geographic photographer (above). Well known for his wildlife photography in Africa. The Last Place on Earth is a retrospective on his journey through the Megatransect in Africa.
Jim Nachtwey,
VII Agency photographer (above). While he taken some pretty depressing photographs of war torn nations, poverty and environmental degradation, he is one of the few artists who can make something beautiful out of something so tragic.
Larry Page/Sergey Brin. Creators of
Google. I read a good book about these two and I loved the description about their "healthy disregard for the impossible" when setting up Google. (in reference to their desire to catalogue the entire world wide web in the late 90's).
