Makers of Modern Science is a 10-volume set that profiles the lives and achievements of scientists who made notable contributions to the advancement of science and society. Each volume covers a scientist whose work has had a major impact on a particular field. The scientist's accomplishments are discussed, including the scientific principles and personal struggles underlying his or her work. Employing an array of primary sources-diaries, memoirs, letters, and contemporary news accounts-as well as secondary sources, the set depicts the human drama of scientific work, the challenge of research, and the exhilaration and rewards of discovery.
Chien-shiung Wu recounts the life and work of the Chinese-American nuclear physicist known for her work during World War II on the Manhattan Project, for which she found ways to produce radioactive uranium for the atomic bomb and improve radioactive detectors. The book includes information on Wu's contributions to experimental physics that resulted in her being one of the most distinguished physicists of her time, culminating in her election in 1975 as the first female president of the American Physical Society.
Chien-shiung Wu includes more than 30 photographs and line illustrations, a chronology, a glossary, the Periodic Table of the Elements, a list of print and Internet resources, and an index. Makers of Modern Science is an essential set for students, teachers, and general readers that provides a factual look at the lives and outstanding contributions of prominent scientists
