K-3Zoom In on Technology Pioneers series.
These early-reader biographies give the most general facts about each figure's early life, career accomplishments, and legacy. Choppy texts are adequately illustrated with archival and stock photos on cleanly designed pages. Among the modern-day (male) tech entrepreneurs profiled, the volumes on nineteenth-century chemist and physicist Curie and early-twentieth-century nuclear physicist Wu feel pro forma; contemporary female technology pioneers are out there. Timeline. Glos., ind. Review covers these Zoom In on Technology Pioneers titles: Bill Gates, Chien-Shiung Wu, Jeff Bezos, Jerry Yang, Marie Curie, Steve Jobs.
