"This book will expand the horizons of teen and pre-teen readers in an exciting and engaging way, by debating the Greatest of All Time in a variety of categories. Topics include the greatest athlete of all time, greatest band, greatest inventor, greatest scientist, greatest writer, greatest sci-fi franchise, and more"-- Who is the greatest athlete of all time? The greatest chess player? Inventor? Super hero squad? Volponi pairs up people in twenty-five categories, presents the facts about each person, and then encourages you to approach the subject as a topic for debate. The participants picked may not be the entries that you would have chosen, but Volponi uses this as a base for introducing you to basic debating techniques. -- adapted from back cover, Introduction, and perusal of book
