"A balanced discussion of the scientist's life and work...
particularly informative. Full-page sidebars explain principles
related to the physicist's research... Captioned black and white
photographs of Fermi, his family, and his colleagues add interest.
This book will be useful for reports... challenging reading...
extensive list for further reading."--School Library Journal
"Personal anecdotes mix well with science to provide a well-rounded
picture of Fermi and his friends and associates. Fermi comes across
as a brilliant, warm, and approachable person. That was his
strength and is the book's strength as well. The black-and-white
illustrations are crisp, appropriate, and enhance the text. An
excellent short bibliography and a useful index make the book more
valuable for its intended audience."--Science Books &
