| Publisher Description: In this series, readers will travel back in time, experiencing the lives and cultures of some of the world's greatest scientists. Engrossing text and primary source images help students gain perspective on the scientific climate surrounding history's greatest scientific discoveries and theories. The text is accompanied by primary source images of the tools, manuscripts, illustrations, and artifacts of these scientists, who changed the way we see the world, both politically and religiously. This series is an eye-opening addition to any library. Dmitri Mendeleyev gave science one of its most important discoveries when he published his periodic table of elements. The periodic table has determined much in the way of science in the past and will continue to do so in the future. The scientist behind the table came from the barren wasteland of Siberia in nineteenth-century Russia and rose to world acclaim for his work in chemistry. Photos and other primary source material will keep leaders engrossed. |
