African Americans in Science [2 Volumes]: An Encyclopedia of People and Progress


This comprehensive reference work sheds new light on an aspect of African American life that is often overlooked. More than a summary of individuals and accomplishments, "African Americans in Science: An Encyclopedia of People and Progress" explores the entire experience of African Americans seeking a place in the scientific community-not just the triumphs but the frustrations, discriminations, and the efforts to support (and sometimes impede) African American scientists. "African Americans in Science" offers alphabetically organized entries in three areas: the contributions of African Americans in over 30 different fields of science and medicine, schools and organizations that played a role in the development of African American scientists, and additional topics related to African American scientists. No other reference offers such a complete and up-to-date portrait of the pivotal work of African Americans across the spectrum of scientific research and what it took to achieve it.
