Lives of the Scientists by Kathleen Krull
Scientists have a reputation for being focused on their work--and maybe even dull. But take another look. Did you know that it's believed Galileo was scolded by the Roman Inquisition for sassing his mom? That Isaac Newton loved to examine soap bubbles? That Albert Einstein loved to collect joke books, and that geneticist Barbara McClintock wore a Groucho Marx disguise in public? With juicy tidbits about everything from favorite foods to first loves, the subjects of Kathleen Krull and Kathryn Hewitt's Lives of the Scientists: Experiments, Explosions (and What the Neighbors Thought) are revealed as creative, bold, sometimes eccentric--and anything but dull.
Kathleen Krull's grandmother emigrated from county Kerry in Ireland, her grandfather from county Roscommon. She grew up near Chicago, now lives in San Diego, and enjoys visiting Ireland to meet relatives. She is the author of The Book of Rock Stars: 24 Musical Icons that Shine Through History; Gonna Sing My Head Off!; AWoman for President: The Story of Victoria Woodhull; Pocahontas: Princess of the New World; the Giants of Science series of biographies; and several books illustrated by her husband, Paul Brewer.
