Heroes

There are so many heroes. Not all of them wear masks like Zorro or capes like Superman and Darth Vader. Some people become heroes even though they appear to be doing or saying perfectly ordinary things. This book introduces more than a hundred real-life heroes from around the world—explorers and discoverers, impressive scientists, fearless doctors and nurses, farmers, teachers, and social workers; physicists, biologists, mathematicians, and chemists; firefighters and police officers; politicians and lawyers; brilliant artists, musicians, and writers; outstanding athletes, and many more.
