Five Brilliant Scientists by Lynda Jones
This easy-to-read biography describes the early lives and notable achievements of Susan McKinney Steward, the first Black female doctor in New York State; George Washington Carver, the world-famous agricultural scientist most noted for his work with peanuts; Ernest Everett Just, a remarkable marine biologist known as "the expert" on the early life of sea animals; Percy Lavon Julian, an outstanding chemist who discovered drugs to treat glaucoma and arthritis; and Shirley Ann Jackson, a nuclear physicist who helped AT&T design and build circuits for long distance communication. Archival photographs and Ron Garnett's realistic illustrations of the five personalities help to illuminate the biographies.
Jones, Lynda: - Although Lynda Jones qualified as a teacher, she has dedicated the last 20 years of her life to working for an educational publishing firm. In her spare time, Lynda gained a diploma in creative writing and was asked to write for a magazine. This spurred her on to write her debut novel, Mon Petit Papillon.
