New ed. (2010, Ellerbe Press)
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Trahern Cook. The picture-book biography of Charles Townes, winner of the 1964 Nobel Prize in Physics for the invention of the laser, covers Townes's entire life but focuses especially on his childhood and early interest in all scientific topics. Although Haynie includes some intriguing details, much of her writing, and Cook's illustrations, is more serviceable than inspiring. Timeline. Bib.
