NSTA Review The Father of Anatomy: Galen and His Dissections

In the latest of NSTA Reviews, Judy Kraus has reviewed Enslow's The Father of Anatomy: Galen and His Dissections:

"The Father of Anatomy: Galen and His Dissections details the
man and the era in which he lived. Galen’s prolific writings provided the foundation for Andreas Vesalius’ work comparing animal and human anatomy and William Harvey’s experiments focusing on the heart and blood. His emphasis on the scientific method and adherence to procedures established the basis of medical care for centuries. From it, students will find information on the history and nature of science and physiology. Teachers will find it a good tool
for the development of integrated activities with social studies
curricula. "

America Ferrara: Latina Superstar BOOKLIST REVIEW

Ilene Cooper of Booklist reviews America Ferrara: Latina Superstar in the June 1 issue. This is the one of the latest additions to the series Hot Celebrity Biographies.

"In fact, one of its pluses is the way that it focuses on Ferrera as being more than a pretty face (although there is not shortage of descriptions calling her beautiful). After describing how America was raised in a large family by a single mother who insisted that education come first, the book goes on to chronicle Ferrera’s career inthe Traveling Pants films (from where readers will probably know her best) and on TV’s Ugly Betty."
