George Washington Carver Scientist and Symbol [Paperback]

A superb book that will supplant the two dozen or so Carver biographies already on the library shelves. It is an engaging treatment of a fascinating man. --History: Reviews of New Books

A remarkable study of a remarkable man. --The History Teacher

An intimate and sensitive psychological portrait, a well-informed intellectual sketch, and an unusually readable scientific treatise, this biography of Carver has a depth and a breadth of research rarely found in such studies. --John Blassingame, Yale University
