The release of the Who's Who in America Millennium Edition coincides with the 100th anniversary of the biographical directory. Since it was launched by Chicago newspaper publisher Albert Nelson Marquis in 1899, this single-source reference book has provided key information about hundreds of thousands of leaders, decision-makers and innovators from every significant field of endeavor. "By chronicling the lives of influential people over the past century, Who's Who in America has provided a fascinating overview of our nation's history and the people who helped shape it. The fact that Thomas Edison, Henry Ford and Bruce Springsteen have all been in the pages of Who's Who in America reflects the rich and changing cultural diversity of America," said Mysel. Continuing a century-long tradition, the Who's Who in America Millennium Edition only includes the names of people who have made names for themselves. The guiding editorial principle continues to be achievement, not simply wealth or celebrity.
