Features: The world knows that the invention of dynamite is credited to Nobel; but what many don't know is that it was an accident involving his brother that led him to begin researching dynamite. Beyond dynamite, what else did he leave behind in his lifetime? This series also includes stories about Marie Curie, Edison, Einstein, Galileo, Halley, Newton, and Pasteur! The Super Scientists series is a newly launched bilingual (Chinese-English) reading series by the China Renmin University Press in April 2004. The series consists of eight books, which are written in elegant language and accompanied by numerous vivid, large-scale illustrations, telling the little-known stories of scientists who profoundly influenced the course of human history. The innovative layout design and the use of dual-color printing highlight the exquisite nature of the series. Additionally, the CD included with each book immerses readers in authentic English audio environments, transporting them to captivating eras and allowing them to intimately connect with the great scientific minds while subtly experiencing the charm of the English-speaking world.
