100 Scientists Who Shaped World History: A STEM Biography Book for Kids and Teens (100 Series)

The book i received had a stain on the edge. It looks like someone has spilled tea on it. It doesn't look like a brand new even though i paid the price for one.

Each page (in pretty small print in two columns) gives an overview of one of the 100 Scientists Who Shaped World History. It starts with Pythagoras and ends with Hawking. The focus of each mini bio is on what one or two things they discovered or invented that changed the world and is not meant to even remotely cover their whole life. This book can easily be read cover to cover or by picking and choosing a scientist to read about here and there. It’s a great introduction for kids to lots of scientists from many branches of science.

My homeschooled child has this as a text for Life Science this year. I opened the book and read the stories of the first several scientists. This is not an exhaustive study of the person nor the scientific achievement - it is a "mini-biography" of each person. Just enough to have basic knowledge of each individual included - a great stepping stone if you will. The truly interested reader can find additional books with more depth if desired.The PhD (Chemistry), who teaches the science classes my children attend has this as a required text. I think this is a great "general resource" book for a home library - just wish it was in hardcover!The author does a good job with the people chosen for inclusion.

This is a well written book on the most influential scientists. My son is researching astronomers this year and we wanted a book to have on hand for a resource.

Has been a great addition to our homeschool library! Lots of great information!

I bought this for my grandsons as a great reference book. Somewhere down the line, they may need to do a report on some scientist. Done very well for a young reader. There were many I never heard of which was very enlightening !!! they all were important contributors to science.
