Portraits of Great American Scientists

""Creative…. Readers of this book cannot help but get caught up in the students’ voyages of discovery…. A powerful introduction to the challenges and the joys of doing science.”

            -American Reference Books Annual 2003
 

“The introduction by Lederman should be required reading for all high school science teachers and students…[a] rare offering that talks to kids about something besides their problems…. [It] delightfully demonstrates that not all scientists are nerdy white men wearing thick eyeglasses.”

            -San Jose Mercury News

 
“This book comes along at a time of growing science illiteracy among Americans. If you know a young, potential scientist, this book would make a fine...gift with its insightful and inspiring stories.”
