<span style="font-family:Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;line-height:normal;"><em>&quot;<span style="font-size:12px;">I recently completed <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Dead Ends to Somewhere</span>, and enjoyed it so much.  Given his rocky start in school, his discoveries and accomplishments are truly awesome and amazing and should serve as an inspiration to any budding scientists who encounter dead ends, too.   </span></em></span><div><span style="font-family:Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;line-height:normal;"><em><span style="font-size:12px;">Parents and children owe Dick Ward their undying gratitude for his work in discovering a vaccine for rotavirus.  I highly recommend this book.  The author manages to entertain and inform while explaining some very complex science in terminology that any layman can understand.&quot;</span></em></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> -- L.
