ReviewsGreat Scientists and Famous Inventors series. The achievements of well-chosen personalities are highlighted in each volume. Meaningful depth of information is compromised by the plethora of extraneous inclusions on most pages: website screen shots, sidebars, photographs that may or may not be relevant to the texts, etc. Some content is there if readers can find it.

SynopsisScientific inquiry is not a modern phenomenon. People have always been curious about the world around them. To that end, some people stepped forward and used logic and reason to solve the mysteries of the natural world. Author Amy Graham profiles eight of these scientific pioneers: Pythagoras, Hippocrates, Aristotle, Archimedes, Galen, Ptolemy, Zhang Heng, and al-Khwarizmi., They were not afraid to think about the world in new ways. They had a great curiosity and wanted to uncover the truth of the natural world around them. Some of their theories have with-stood the centuries and still stand as truth today. Other ideas were dead wrong. But these great scientists took chances and were unafraid that others might laugh or think their ideas were different. They searched for the truth. Learn the life stories and amazing accomplishments of eight astonishing Ancient World Scientists: Pythagoras; Hippocrates; Aristotle; Archimedes; Galen; Ptolemy; Zhang Heng; and al-Kwarizmi.
