Gives Physics a Human Side

As someone who only studied as much physics as high school curriculum required (and, as I recall, fighting all the way), I was pleased to find a book that really spoke to me. Learning about the people behind the science is a great way for students to develop interest in physics itself. Having read this book I want to know more about what Marie Curie studied because I now know why it interested her - and I feel that I have enough of a basic understanding to do so. I would definitely recommend this book to teachers of young adults. Karen Fox is a great writer - clear, concise, and entertaining. This book would be especially effective for cross-subject teaching - reading, writing, science/physics, and sociology. Thank you Karen Fox!

Great book a must read!

Karen Fox is a terrific writer, I hope she continues to write more books on physics. Physics is fun!
