Sixteen free-verse poems celebrate the accomplishments of innovators ancient and modern, including Ts'ai Lun, inventor of paper, and Tim Berners-Lee, the instigator of the World Wide Web. In unfortunately small type, the chronologically arranged poems, accompanied by attractive paintings, are followed by brief biographical notes. This collection will be useful in language arts, science, and social studies curricula.
