摘要

Horticulturist and inventor George Washington Carver's rough beginnings, his eventual higher education in racially tolerant Iowa, his delivery of "scientific farming" and its mantra of soil conservation to the Deep South, and, not least, sweet potatoes, soybeans and peanuts, and products made from them-it's all here in Tonya Boldeh's George Washington Carver (Abrams, $18.95, ages 8 to 12). This latest entry in the fertile field of Carveriana stands out for its compilation of period paintings and documentary photos, artful design and layout, and the authority lent by Chicago's Field Museum, a partner in the publication. Bolden's storytelling pulls all of the pieces together into an eminently readable whole. She enlivens her story with quotes taken directly from primary sources. For example, in an 1896 letter recruiting young Carver to work at the Tuskegee Institute, Booker T. Washington says of his students there, "Words cannot fill stomachs. They need to learn how to plant and harvest crops." Tuskegee, Bolden tells us, was home to a journal called The Negro Farmer, in whose pages Carver excoriated "soil robbers" who failed to rotate crops. Carver was deeply religious. He called his lab "God's little workshop," we learn, and he believed "that all of nature was God's creation." But Bolden doesn't tell us what he had to say about evolution.
