Inventors and Innovators
Even more than necessity, invention requires the tireless dedication of individuals seeking to improve their lives and that of those around them. Discovery and innovation--the reimagining of existing tools and devices in medicine, technology, space exploration, the environment, and climatology--have been taken to previously unimagined heights thanks to people as brilliant and diverse as Hippocrates and Bill Gates.

Series Review: Inventors
and Innovators
"These
well-designed books present information in a succinct and uniform manner. Each
chapter presents a two- to four-page biography and usually includes an
accompanying portrait with a caption, in chronological order by year of the
featured individuals' births. An introduction and conclusion offer more insights
into each book's focus and will assist youngsters with making connections among
entries."
