Quantum Leaps: 100 Scientists Who Changed the World por Jon Balchin

Quantum Leaps was my first introduction to the world of science. The book which provided me with a purpose to pursue the world of science and make it one of my mainstays in life.

I still recommend this book to all young readers today.
