Jonas Salk: Creator of the Polio Vaccine

128 pp. | Enslow | January, 2003 | Library ISBN 0-7660-2097-5 $$20.95
(4) 4-6 Great Minds of Science series. In spite of the dry book design and grainy photographs, this is a relatively readable biography of Salk that focuses on his work developing a polio vaccine. Tocci includes scientific explanations when necessary and gives readers a sense of both Salk's work and his character. Personal narratives and detailed source notes give credibility to the text. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind.
