The Great Scientists in Bite-sized Chunks by Meredith MacArdle, Nicola Chalton

3.0

For a person life long in humanities whose science knowledge is a patchy mixture of whatever makes the news and leftover highschool facts it's always a good idea to brush up on the basics, and in that regard, this book definitely did its job for me. I don't have wide enough knowledge to judge how accurate or inclusive it is, but I can say it's very accessible and readable, when not particularly amusing. The chunks about each scientist is indeed bite-sized, with a good portion of autobiography and achievements, but the book lacked that little bit extra in order to call it very enjoyable.
