About this product
Product Information
Perseverance, ingenuity, and a keen eye were all that chemist Stephanie Kwolek needed to discover a new family of synthetic fibers, one of which was the incredibly strong Kevlar(R) compound. Author Edwin Brit Wyckoff tells the tale of Kwolek's life from her youth during the Great Depression to her groundbreaking discovery at DuPont. The results of her efforts have led to the production of many products that use Kevlar(R), including body armor that has saved countless lives.

Reviews
While these titles include simple biographies, they are also career and invention materials, and would be useful in classes on a variety of topics: introductions to inventors, inventions, the creative process, useful tools to society, or the history of common items. They provide helpful time lines of the inventors' lives as well as background on their most famous creations and information about the items' uses. Color and black-and-white photos and color graphics add to the information on most pages. These books are easy to read and full of enough facts to make a solid basis for research, but it's doubtful that students will pick them for pleasure reading., School Library Journal July 2008
