(4) 4-6 Great Minds of Science series. These lucid, engaging biographies of the great geneticist (McClintock) and anthropologist (Mead) clearly describe their determination, stature, and influence (although details of their work are less well described). Equally evident are the prejudices against women in the sciences. Some photographs are interspersed in the text, and simple genetics or anthropology activities are included. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Great Minds of Science titles: Margaret Mead and Barbara McClintock.
