From the Publisher
Recent Review:
Enriched with autobiographical sources and personal accounts, each scientist's profile is accompanied with b&w photos. Italicized captions that occur with each photograph add to the depth of the information, which often include a human interest angle that would appeal to young adult readers. Minority students will enjoy reading how these individuals , who have come from similar cultural backgrounds, and even similar neighborhoods, have suceeded in becoming leaders in their fields. A big plus here is that each profile, which ranges from seven to nine pages in length, is enhanced by a chronology and a 'further reading list' for those students who want more."
