Kathleen Burke, Smithsonian Magazine, November 2001. “At once a lively introduction to the scientific method and a survey of hands-on experiments, this outstanding overview touches on important concepts in botany, bacteriology, molecular biology, mycology, microbiology and more.” Science News, January 19, 2002, “In all, this is a serious but enjoyable book that illustrates the subtle ways in which biology affects our lives every day.” Today’s Librarian, book reviews, June 2001, p41: “Bottone’s straightforward style is great for young people serious about science. The chapters are easy to understand but introduce solid scientific concepts with terminology.” Cindy Jones, appearing in The Bloomsbury Review magazine, December 2001, p26: “The Science of Life provides 24 well-explained, interesting, biological science fair projects...” “The language in The Science of Life is very easy to understand without being oversimplified.” Pamela Longbrake, Librarian, Sellers Middle School, Garland, TX, appearing in The Book Report, December 2001, p82: “What makes this a better than average book is that the author has anticipated some of the problems young experimenters may have and gives practical suggestions on how to avoid them.” Maren Ostergard, Bellevue Regional Library, appearing in School Library Journal magazine, November 2001: “While the activities are fascinating and educational, some of the items may be difficult to track down, so Bottone has provided a list of suppliers. The volume provides a thorough introduction to this area of science and would be useful in most collections.” |
