“Lexington author Rick Beyer attributes his lifelong interest in science and history to his father, the late Robert T. Beyer, a physicist who loved reading about the Civil War. Beyer combines these passions in his latest book, "The Greatest Science Stories Never Told: 100 Tales of Invention and Discovery to Astonish, Bewilder, and Stupefy.''”
“"Rick is a creative filmmaker, a wonderful historical interpreter, and he knows Lexington's story inside and out," said Susan Bennett, executive director of the Lexington Historical Society.”

— Kaye McFadden, Seattle Times
“This little book is like an old-fashioned sweet shop, full of tasty morsels.”
