*Review Contributed by Karen Yingling, Staff Reviewer*
I did not try any of the experiments at home, but they seemed reasonable. Many were more focused on information rather than anything requiring a lot of supplies.
Recent years have seen a lot more collective biographies that include diverse representation, but single volume biographies have yet to catch up. Books like these are great for students to find subjects for biography projects, and hopefully they can find more material in encyclopedias online. Include Scientists Like Me in a collection of other STEM biography books like Miller’s Groundbreaking Scientists, Lawlor’s Super Women: Six Scientists Who Saved the World, Tiner’s 100 Scientists Who Changed the World, Fletcher’s Wonder Women of Science : Twelve Geniuses Who Are Currently Rocking Science, Technology, and the World, Bolden’s Black Lives: Great Minds of Science, and Ignotofsky’s Women in Science.
