* Reviews *
Scientists Saving the Earth series. These books offer biographical information about environmentalists. The series' focus is uneven; for example, the Carr volume tells much more about sea turtles than about the man himself while the Carson book relies on lengthy excerpts from her writing to highlight her story. Nevertheless, readers will get a sense of the subjects' importance in their fields. Photographs illustrate the texts. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind., The Horn Book Guide Spring 2010
