Esteban Laureano Maradona
Esteban Laureano Maradona (born Esperanza, provincia de Santa Fe, Argentina 4 July 1895 – died Rosario, Argentina January 14, 1995) was a country medical doctor, naturalist, writer, and philanthropist. Maradona practiced medicine in the village of Estanislao del Campo, in the remote province of Formosa, for 50 years. Maradona moved to Paraguay during the Chaco War, where he was appointed director of Asuncion's Naval Hospital. He also worked with indigenous communities on economic, cultural, humanitarian, and social issues. Maradona was author of numerous scientific works on anthropology and flora and fauna. Publications 
Some of Maradona's approximately 20 books have not yet been published, though in 1994 the Argentine Congress passed a resolution to edit and donate copies of Maradona's books to public libraries to further his legacy. Published
