Summary

What clutter-busting need was behind the invention of the World Wide Web? Which stain-fighting chemical got its start when a lab assistant dropped a beaker on a lab floor? In S is for Scientists: A Discovery Alphabet , the origins behind some of the most important scientific discoveries are explored.Budding young scientists will learn what Galileo witnessed in a church that led to his theory of measurement; how biologist Rachel Carsonrs"s book, Silent Spring , helped to spur the first call to action in the environmental movement; and why Ivan Pavlovrs"s study of a drooling dog laid the foundations for a new branch of psychology.From discoveries that fundamentally changed scientific methods to everyday inventions that are now taken for granted, S is for Scientists sheds light on the events and people who have shaped our lives today.
