    About this ebook

    Everybody loves heroes – brave men and women who win wars and lead their countries to freedom. But this book isn’t about those people…this book is about the heroes that you’ve probably never heard of, but who have made your and millions of other people’s lives much better – unsung heroes that deserve recognition.

    People like Grace Hopper, who wrote the world’s first computer programming manual and developed irreplaceable early computer software; and John Leal, who fought to make our drinking water safe, risking ostracization, prison and death in the process. People like Frederick Tudor, the man who almost lost everything when he brought ice to the tropics for the first time; and Philo Farnsworth, the man who really invented television.

    We hope that you find these everyday heroes’ stories as inspiring and eye-opening as we do.

    Remember…anything is possible.
