| Mrs. Wells' slim little biography of Mary Breckinridge, told in three moving vignettes, is evocative of Hemingway at his best. Each vignette is simply, beautifully told without a word wasted.
Breckinridge and her patients and nurses come so vividly to life in this little book that it looms in my mind as a much larger work. Mrs. Wells is a genius, and this book is one that would be easy to share aloud with audiences of any age. |

| Pictures & illustration makes this book more entertains to read although someone can suggest other encyclopedia that gives more information than this book, but for me, it doesn't matter how much or complete the information but how much information reader can get from this book... if you want more complete information you can go further with multi-volume encyclopedia like Britannica or simply using internet to google many information regarding any great invention and discoveries in human kinds.

| A remarkable and memorable book! An A+. A 10. I ran across a copy at the Santa Barbara library's donated books for sale shelves and liked the "look" of the book. The size and the "heft", too. I bought it with other books mostly to support the library selling it, :-) but when I got home, I started to read it. It is an amazing read. Mr. Ludwig's style is surprising, different and intriguing. Mr. Ludwig's outlook on Michael Faraday's life and how and why he accomplished what he did, combined in that style, made ... Read More: |

| To answer some of Ann Bausum's questions:
-- Who discovered Velociraptor? Answer: Walter Granger. -- Who discovered that dinosaurs lay eggs? Answer: Walter Granger found a dinosaur eggshell fragment at Flaming Cliffs on September 2, 1922. George Olsen found the first whole eggs there a year later on July 10, 1923. However, paleontologists had theorized for years that dinosaurs laid eggs. All that was needed was proof.
