Reviews
Gr 6-10-These series entries provide concise, accurate information on the personal and professional lives of their subjects. Einstein covers the scientist's theories as well as his childhood and education, his first wife's contributions to his work, his pacifist stances during World War I and part of World War II, his involvement in Zionism, and his naturalization as a U.S. citizen. In Edison, readers learn about this man's early years, his struggles with formal schooling, his 1093 applications for patents during his career, his improvements of the telephone and phonograph, the invention of the light bulb, and much more. Both titles place the scientists' accomplishments in context of world events and note how their achievements influenced our culture. Descriptive subheadings divide the texts into short, easily digestible sections of no more than a page in length. Clear, relevant, black-and-white and full-color photographs and reproductions with captions provide additional information. The books were originally published in Great Britain, in 1992 and 1991 respectively.-Michael McCullough, Byron-Bergen Middle School, Bergen, NY
