Reviews

Genius at Work! Great Inventor Biographies series. This series profiles the achievements of less well-known inventors; the clear writing can be overly simplistic. Readers will appreciate the books' attention to childhood influences and lifelong perseverance. Most of the archival photos are portraits; the few sidebars, photos of the inventions, and diagrams add interest. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind., The Horn Book Guide Spring 2008
