(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Jos A. Smith. This thoughtful biography covers Mendel's early pursuits through his time as a friar at the Czech Abbey of St. Thomas in Brno. There his early experiments with plant genetics in peas were encouraged and respected, though not recognized by the larger scientific community until 1900. Smith's detailed watercolor-style illustrations ably illustrate Bardoe's lucid text. Bib.
