This juvenile biography of "George Washington Carver: Nature's Trailblazer" presents its subject as a true pioneer in ecology. Part of the "earth Keepers" series, this book by Teresa Rogers tells how Carver was a young boy who wanted to know about "every strange stone, flower, insect, bird, or beast." Rogers traces Carver's career from his birth as the son of a slave, his training as an agricultural student, and his famous work as a professor at the Tuskegee Institute. Those who have heard of how Carver invented all sorts of uses for the peanut will learn what the scientist came up with in terms of scientific agriculture and creative chemistry, not to mention products created from sweet potatoes. Rogers does a nice job of not just providing biographical information, but of also providing the context of the changing times for young readers and including quotations from Carver himself about everything from nature to education to race relations. Students will be impressed by everything accomplished over the long and distinguished career of the man who called himself "Nature's Trailblazer."

The back of this book contains a list of all the products created by Carver from peanuts (beverages, cosmetics, dyes and paints, foods, foods for farm animals, medicines and many others) as well as one detailing some of the key bulletins he produced over forty years from "Feeding Acorns" to "Nature's Garden for Victory and Peace." Other books in the "Earth Keepers" series look at Henry David Thoreau, Rachel Carlson, John Muir, Jacques Cousteau, and Jane Goodall.

There are few literary experiences comparable to meet this brazilian author. This book is an excellent introduction to his abolitionist poems. The whole oeuvre of Castro Alves deserve attention, and in the wait of an extensive edition of its translated works, it could be illuminating to try the portuguese editions. Whitout forget the novelized biography of the poet by Jorge Amado, a classic on its own.

Pajaro Verde: The Green Bird is an enchanting bilingual English/Spanish fairy tale about many-eyed sisters and an enigmatic prince named Pajaro Verde.
