Professor Brook Ellen Hall

As the owner of an educational science publishing company and acollege science professor, I rely on current factual information aboutthe people who have worked in the field. Whenever I need concise comprehensive information about the lesser known researchers who have contributed so much to our world, I turn to this book and always find what I need. I would be lost without this reference. In a time when many of us do not have the hours or ability to conduct the tedious research on some rather obscure topics, this book is a lifesaver. In my capacity as a science professor I have recommended it over and over again for students of all ages. No science library should be without it.
