Gr 5–9—This series explores the lives and discoveries of some of the world's most renowned scientists. Each title offers comprehensive details about their discoveries and facts about their personal lives and interests. Albert Einstein was a skilled violinist; Charles Darwin was happily married to a religious woman; and Sir Isaac Newton experimented with alchemy. Unfortunately, the in-depth explanations of their works combined with dense prose make for rather tedious reads. Photos, drawings, and diagrams match the narratives but do little to enhance them. VERDICT Though unlikely to be enjoyed by browsers, the information in these texts will do very well for reports. Purchase based on demand.
