(4) YA Women in Science series. These serviceable biographies set their subjects' contributions to science within the context of their own lives and the larger one of their disciplines. Both McClintock, who discovered mobile genetic elements, and Mayer, who worked on the shell model for atomic nuclei, won Nobel prizes; Carson's writings spotlighted environmental concerns. Occasionally rambling, the texts are extended by sidebars and photos. Bib., ind. [Review covers these Women in Science titles: Barbara McClintock, Maria Goeppert Mayer, and Rachel Carson.]
