Nobel Prize-Winning Scientists series.
After a first chapter explaining their subjects' overall scientific contributions, these books relate the events surrounding their Nobel award. Although a bit dry, the writing is generally balanced and fluid, except for the awkward Einstein volume. Black-and-white photos and occasional diagrams illustrate the books, and a few simple experiments are included. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Nobel Prize-Winning Scientists titles: James Watson, Albert Einstein, Linus Pauling, and Enrico Fermi.
