School Library Journal Review

Gr 6-9-These hi/lo titles provide brief retrospective tours of the highlighted topics by featuring scientists from around the world who made important advances. They drive home the point that each new discovery or piece of information is a building block and clearly demonstrate that any small idea or combination of old ideas can forever change the future of science. Wonderful additions where budding scientists are looking for role models and inspiration. (c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

Horn Book Review

This volume touches on select concepts in physics (e.g., movement energy, electrical energy, atomic power) through an examination of historical achievements made by prominent scientists. Each person's contributions are detailed on overly busy and colorful double-page spreads that include illustrations, vital statistics, and sidebar facts. Modern-day applications of some of the concepts are also discussed. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind. (c) Copyright 2011.
