50 Fearless Pioneers Who Changed the World - Women in Science
50 Fearless Pioneers Who Changed the World - Women in Science

Review:Almost perfect! This book is amazing though it does seem intended for younger audiences because of the drawings. It is still very enjoyable and have learned a lot about fantastic women scientists I did not know about. The only thing that would make it perfect would be to have an actual portrait or picture of each woman, even a small one. I recommend to everyone reading this book to look up pictures while reading it, it definitely improves the experience to put a real face to the story. Read more

He said he used to know the author, back in Colorado.

I said why don't you search the Internet. He had just gotten a laptop, his first, but he had no clue. He wasn't even familiar with keyboa... Read more
