In this book, Fries-Gaither has captured the essence of what it means to write about science. The book is beautifully written and handsomely designed. The featured scientists have the opportunity to "speak" for themselves in the many samples and photographs of their journals and notebooks they kept as they conducted experiments and research. The author has a precise characteristic to her own writing which serves this topic well. If you have students that are reluctant to write about science, this book is just the "friend" that you as a teacher will need to inspire them. Even as an adult, I was inspired to look further into the writings of the scientists she cited as good examples of how to use the written word to record scientific evidence, and as a venue for wondering what scientists will discover next.
