Pioneers of Science

Certain scientists are so esteemed that their names have become nearly synonymous with their fields. They may actually be more famous than their considerable contributions to science. Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin, Marie Curie, and similarly celebrated figures are the focus of this essential series. Each book, written by an authority, delves deeply into rich details of the scientist's life as well as provides a comprehensible and age-appropriate description of their work, especially their most famous accomplishments. Future scientists will find all the need-to-know curricular facts in the carefully researched text and enriching sidebars.
