From Booklist The Trailblazers in Science and Technology series mixes the personal interest of biography with useful science information—a combination that should prove very useful in libraries. From Marie Curie’s beginnings in a Poland struggling under Russian rule to Google’s Larry Page and Sergey Brin’s Montessori early childhood education, these titles show the personal roots of each scientist’s work. The dual biography of Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin focuses more on business than science, bringing up the complex issues, including privacy, that have dogged the innovative applications of the computer giant. Each volume includes a comprehensive list of events that are current up to April 2012, a glossary with exceptionally thorough and helpful definitions, and excellent reading lists that explain why each book or article might be useful.
