Description
The science.ca website combines rich narrative biography with clear graphic explanation to describe Canada's greatest scientists and their achievements. The site is visited by thousands of students from across Canada every day, often as part of their provincial school curriculum.
Back in 1991 a Vancouver librarian told science writer, Barry Shell, who was looking for a book on the greatest Canadian scientists, that "no such book existed." Unfortunately, that librarian was right. Although there are shelves of books on Canada's historical scientific greats, there were none on our living scientific luminaries.
To rectify this shortcoming, Shell began the "Great Canadian Scientist Project". The result was not only a superb biographical source book for teachers and students, but a humanistic glimpse into the minds of great scientists and their disciplines: Great Canadian Scientsts.
