Extremely interesting, I really enjoyed reading and learning about the scientists who all made such major discoveries.
This book contains bright and colourful pages, which are full of pictures and fun facts to complement the paragraphs of information.
The timeline of scientists ranges from the Ancient Egyptian scribe and architect 'Imhopet' who designed pyramids up to present day heroes like Gladys West, who designed satellites and Hedy Lamarr who designed Bluetooth connections.
I loved finding out about some scientists who made the original discoveries that are still used today, many lifesaving inventions! My favourite person to learn about was Rachel Carson because I love the environment.
