Grade 9 Up--This eye-catching resource profiles no fewer than 450 scientists. The volume is arranged first by discipline, then by date, covering laureates from 1901 to 2001. The introduction to each section describes 20th-century advances, such as the synthesis of such compounds as ammonia, fertilizers, and plastics, and recent research in molecular, supra molecular, and materials chemistry. Individual entries include a portrait, birthdate and place, description and fruition of the research, and career development. Entry style varies slightly in the separately authored sections--physics essays contain quotes and hobbies, chemistry and medicine essays include fathers' occupations. Essays on notable laureates such as Enrico Fermi, Thomas Hunt Morgan, and Linus Pauling are longer than those on lesser-known people.
