Important elements in this book are the accomplishments of special people. Not all are lily white - for example Heinrich Schliemann who was a vanguard leader in archeology - Homer's Iliad for Troy's location - yet he was a scamp & a scoundrel in some respects. Mel Fisher labored for 20 years to find the gold of the Spanish galleon Atocha, & had success in 1985 ($300,000,000). Ray Kroc made false starts, but other steps were right on the button, as we see in McDonald's fast foods today. On events, there is the ill motorman on a commuter train from Antwerp to Brussels - dead on arrival. The relation of three volcanoes - Krakatoa 1883 - Vesuvius 79 AD & Santorini. The water wheel in Maji, Ethopia, was successful thanks to a group effort. The Marie Celeste was an unsolved mystery ship. The discovery of X'ian's terracotta warriors in China was unusual along with the mystical beauty of Gullin's tower karsts. This book will be of interest to a wide group of readers since so many novel situations are brought forward.Squires, Dick is the author of 'Looking for Leaders Episodes, Events and Travel' with ISBN 9780962413827 and ISBN 0962413828.
