Description
"The Notable Scientists" set includes relevant information on an array of well-known scientific greats in history, as well as lesser-known scientists.

Each illustrated book's entries are arranged alphabetically by surname, with cross-references to other scientists included in the book. Helpful appendixes allow readers to search by areas such as country of major scientific activity, year of birth and death, and more. Comprehensive, authoritative, and compelling, "The Notable Scientists" set is an essential reference for understanding the full scope of science and the incredible influences of the key pioneers in the field.
