Michael H. Hart (born April 28, 1932 in New York City) is a Jewish American astrophysicist who has also written three books on history and controversial articles on a variety of subjects. Hart describes himself as a Jeffersonian liberal, while his critics call him a conservative and a racial separatist.
The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History is a 1978 book by Michael H. Hart, reprinted in 1992 with revisions. It is a ranking of the 100 people who, according to Hart, most influenced human history.
Surprising to readers was the first person on Hart's list, Muhammad instead of Jesus or Moses. Hart asserted that Muhammad was "supremely successful" in both the religious and secular realms. He also opined that Muhammad's role in the development of Islam was far more influential than Jesus' collaboration in the development of Christianity. He attributes the development of Christianity to St. Paul, who played a pivotal role in its dissemination.
The 1992 revisions included the demotion of figures associated with Communism, such as Vladimir Lenin and Mao Zedong, and the introduction of Mikhail Gorbachev. Hart took sides in the Shakespearean authorship issue and substituted Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford for William Shakespeare. Hart also substituted Niels Bohr and Henri Becquerel with Ernest Rutherford, thus correcting an error in the first edition. Henry Ford was also promoted from the "Honorary Mentions" list, replacing Pablo Picasso. Finally, some of the rankings were re-ordered, although no one listed in the top ten changed position.
Hart wrote another book in 1999, entitled A View from the Year 3000, voiced in the perspective of a person from that future year and ranking the most influential people in history. Roughly half of those entries are fictional people from 2000–3000, but the remainder are actual people. these were taken mostly from the 1992 edition, with some re-ranking of order.

《影響人類進程的100名人排行版》在首次齣版時就引起瞭評論傢的注意,許多人對其中的排名大惑不解。為什麼作者會把穆罕默德排在第一位,在耶穌基督之前?為什麼書中隻有兩位女性?為什麼邪惡的希特勒能夠高居39位?這個排名比很多著名的政治人物要高。幾十年後,這份不解轉化...

評分近來喜歡讀曆史書。曆史過去學得非常差,常常考試之前做記憶練習,所以曆史在我心中就是紛繁蕪雜的事件堆積在一起,就像一個亂七八糟、淩亂不堪的雜物室。 《影響人類曆史進程的100名人排行榜》應該算是一本曆史的閑書。作者選擇這100名人的唯一標準就是是否推動...
