Without the daring, courageous, and innovative thinkers the past,
life as we know it would be completely different; Planes, trains,
and automobiles would never have been invented; Earth would be
considered the center of the universe; and strep throat, polio, and
smallpox would still be incurable diseases. Thankfully, individuals
from various backgrounds and situations pushed themselves along the
path of discovery and made great contributions to the scientific
community, bravely initiating discoveries and broadening the minds
of those around them. The ""Pioneers in Science"" set is a unique
eight-volume collection profiling the people behind the science.
Each volume consists of 10 biographical sketches of pioneers in
particular scientific discipline, including information about their
childhood, how they began their scientific career, their research,
and enough scientific information for the reader to appreciate
their discoveries and contributions. Encompassing a wide variety of
scientific interests individuals were chosen to represent an array
of discipline in each field, as well as different histories,
personality traits, and approaches to research. Each easy-to-use
volume contains photographs and illustrations, an introduction to
the science, a glossary of related terms, and a list of books and
websites for further information. Each chapter concludes with a
chronology with its own suggestions for further reading.
Comprehensive and accessible, the ""Pioneers in Science"" set
provides extensive information about a small collection of pioneers
from each major scientific field. Offering a wealth of information,
these volumes are perfect for school reports, science classes and
lectures, and any school or public library.
