Gr 6—8—Starting with a biography of Alfred Nobel, this current (to 2009) title is thorough, well-written, and interesting. The text is broken down by discipline—science, literature, peace, and economics. The works of each Nobel laureate (they are not referred to as winners) are explained. Photographs pepper the book, and time lines of awards and an extensive index complete the text. This is a fine effort, especially useful for reports.—Anne Chapman Callaghan, Racine Public Library, WI
