Rogers says, “ but it was the schol­
ars who really stood out. We
learned about people we h adn’t
known anything about. It was just
fascinating.”
The book includes the follow ­

bassador who helped broker the

The sheer num bers of worthy
nom inees, and in som e cases the
lack of available information, meant
th a t so m e g o o d c a n d id a te s
w eren’t included. “W e’re keep­
ing track o f them ,” Rogers says.
M any of those who were included
“not only gained prom inence in
their field, but really m ade m ajor
contributions to society and the
w orld,” she says.
In addition to the three princi­
pal authors, many other people
lent a hand in the book’s produc­
tion. “It took longer than we
thought it would, but it was a
great jo b by a lot of people,”
Rogers says.
