A to Z of Biologists uses the device of biography as a way to put a human face on science, a method that adds immediacy to the prose for the high school student who might have an interest in pursuing a career in biology. This comprehensive survey features more than 150 entries and 50 black-and-white photographs. Each profile focuses on a particular biologist’s research and contributions to the field and his or her effect on scientists whose work followed. Their lives and personalities are also discussed through incidents.
