Synopsis
Chemist Isaac Asimov was acclaimed for his fiction and nonfiction writing. As a Russian Jewish immigrant, Asimov told stories from an early age. Among the most celebrated is his Foundation Trilogy, which earned numerous awards and led him to become one of the most widely respected authors of the twentieth century. He expanded on some of his early ideas in novels and stories, including his beloved Robot novels. Asimov made science accessible and entertaining for everyone and is credited with popularizing "hard science fiction," which attempts a realistic imagining of humans using science and technology within imaginary worlds and universes.

From School Library Journal
Gr 10 Up-Even famous science experts struggle in school, as readers learn in this series, which sheds light on the human face of geniuses. Readers will be intrigued to learn, for example, that Jane Goodall kept pet guinea pigs as a child. Some titles emphasize the science writers' literary background more than others. For example, Goodall's book focuses heavily on her work as a scientist, while Isaac Asimov's delves into his literary influences and childhood writings. Quotes from Neil deGrasse Tyson's writing are scattered throughout his biography, helping students connect to his voice. Readers will be swept away by his journey as an African American astrophysicist who first stargazed atop a Bronx apartment building and later walked dogs to earn money for a telescope. Throughout his biography, Tyson's passion for space exploration is palpable. Dynamic, understated artwork does not distract from excellent writing here. Strong additions.α(c) Copyright 2014.
