Scientists of the Ancient World (Collective Biographies)

Rating:
Summary: Not enough info for young adults
Review: This collection of biographies of ten early scientists(580 b.c.-850 a.d.) is probably only useful for elementary researchers or very low-level middle school students. The information is not in-depth,although it is presented in very readable and entertaining chapters. Granted that little information may be available on these scholars, the chapters barely mention the contributions each made outside of science (like Aristotle). Each scientist does have a physical depiction included and some other black and white pictures are scattered throughout the text. The index is very small, but probably useful enough for the amount of information presented.
