Average Rating:  >>More Details |
 |
|
| Unlike Mr. Brown's beautiful children's books about Ruth Law, Mary Kingsley and Alice Ramsey, everybody knows who Neil Armstrong was. To be sure the three women I just mentioned did amazing things for their time. But Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon. This book shows us Neil as a child. We see how at six he loved airplanes, how he made airplane models, how he took an airplane ride in a plane with only twelve wicker seats. We see him watch planes at the airport, really get the feel ... Read More: |

|
| This non-fiction book is interestingly written with details from Newton's childhood and adult life. He said, "If I have seen further than most men, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants."

| 36.Beyond Jupiter: The Story of Planetary Astronomer Heidi Hammel (Women's Adventures in Science) by: Fred Bortz December 31, 2006 |
||
| Average Rating: >>More Details |
 |
|
| Women can do anything, but in some fields such as science and engineering, there are still relatively few role models for women. You could point to woman astronauts like Eileen Collins and Peggy Whitson, but there are very few astronaut jobs for men or women. There are many women in non-astronaut space and astronomy roles, as Emily Lakdawalla pointed out in a recent Planetary Society blog post about an all-female team of NASA Mars Rover scientists, engineers, planners, and operators. Women are doing all these ... Read More: |

|
| This is the perfect biography for anyone wanting to learn more about a great man, one of the greatest physicists. Enough of his physics were mentioned or included to make it non-trivial to me (junior astrophysics major, with Fermi distribution functions currently flying out of my ears) and yet I would have no compunctions handing this book to my little cousins in elementary school if they needed to read/write a book report on the life and accomplishments of one of the greatest and most influential scientists of our ...
