Database Design for Mere Mortals

I ran into "Database Design for Mere Mortals"
what's the meaning of "mere mortals"?
Thanks.First use: http://dictionary.reference.com/
It is the title of Mike Hernandez's popular book on relational database
design that is purportedly easier to understand.
Anith|||mere mortals can be interpreted as "only human"
