124 pp. | Sterling | August, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4027-4950-6 $12.95 | Paper ISBN 978-1-4027-3228-7 $5.95
(4) 4-6 Sterling Biographies series. Quick-paced chapters and well-chosen images of photos, paintings, documents, etc. (e.g., Edison's talking-doll prototype) make for engaging, if mostly laudatory, biographies. Sidebars flesh out historical contexts, science facts, and important contemporaries and predecessors. Larger-than-life Houdini will probably have the most appeal. Einstein is the least accessible due to its complex physics content. Across the volumes, quotes aren't cited. Timeline. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Sterling Biographies titles: Alexander Graham Bell, The Wright Brothers, Benjamin Franklin, Harry Houdini, Thomas Edison, and Albert Einstein.
