Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 5-8. Two biographies that provide easy-to-understand explanations of groundbreaking discoveries. Including personal and professional data about Mendel or Pasteur, each volume offers historical and scientific background to flesh out each man's persona. Considering the complex nature of these scientists' fields, the content of each book is simplified without losing the impact of their discoveries. An activity section encourages readers to try their hands at the techniques and principles under discussion. Black-and-white photos, reproductions, and diagrams enhance the presentations. Useful biographies, especially for reports.?Allison Trent Bernstein, Blake Middle School, Medfield, MA

Review
Unlike many others in his day, French scientist Louis Pasteur believed in studying science with practical applications. He became the "father of microbiology" because he was trying to figure out what made alcohol go bad...This well-rounded biography gives enough information about Pasteur's childhood and private life to be interesting but devotes most of the pages to the world-altering discoveries that put Pasteur solidly at the forefront of scientists in history. -- Booklist, December 1, 1997
