Science. Just the word strikes fear into the hearts of narrative junkies. But this book might change your mind. Through engaging and inviting stories, this book takes readers from the ancient Greeks to the computers of today, featuring many unsung heroes of the sciences. The warm illustrations make it a nice option for a family read with older kids. (And it totally counts for Britton...)
