Among those included are. philosophers such as Rousseau, Kant, Spinoza and Heidegge. activists such as Chico Mendes and Wangari Maatha. literary giants such as Virgil, Goethe and Wordswort. major religious and spiritual figures such as Buddha and St Francis of Assiss. eminent scientists such as Darwin, Lovelock and E.O.
