The following is a list of people, simple men
and women who have helped mankind achieve new heights. They have been included
for this reason only. Most of these individuals were truly great in every
since of the word. Unfortuanately, a few have been involved either directly
or tangently in horrendous acts. It is this authors hope that both their
accomplishments and acts will be remembered to inspire future generations
with their insights and warn them not to repeat their predecessors mistakes.
