Research project, huh, Taha? :)

Well you can't beat a bit of eclectic searching on the internet for that kind of thing.

Here's a wonderful (and succinct) page I found on the web that offers a starter-for-ten: www.improve-education.org/id49.html
Here's what I'd do:

go to that link
read what's written
use the names there as a basis for further search and research
own everything you read by adding your own style to what you understand
Have fun as you do it. :)
