Reviews
Grade 5-9 -This readable, inviting overview describes the life and work of the prominent scientist. Full-color and black-and-white photographs and diagrams energize the text and clarify the complex ideas discussed. The pros and cons of the creation of the atomic bomb are explored as well as its personal and professional impact on Oppenheimer. There is plenty of material here for reports as well as for the few who will seek out this book for general-interest reading.-Deanna Romriell, Salt Lake City Library, UT
