About Melvin Berger
Melvin Berger was born in Brooklyn, NY, on August 23, 1927. He attended City College of New York, earned a B.M. from Eastman School of Music, holds an M.A. from Columbia University, and earned an associate degree from the University of London. Before becoming a freelance writer and musician (he is a professional violist), Berger was a lecturer in music and a music teacher. He lives in East Hampton, NY, with his wife, author Gilda Berger. They have two daughters, Eleanor and Nancy.
A specialist in juvenile nonfiction, Melvin H. Berger has written upwards of two hundred titles for children and young adults in the fields of popular science and music. Often collaborating with his wife, Gilda, Berger has examined everything from ants to zoos in full-length and picture-book formats. In between, he has touched on topics from true crime to the occult, from how food is processed to how a magnifying lens works. Many of his works deal with music, the fundamentals of astronomy, industry at work, and scientists at work and are published in series, but a large part of his output defies categorization. The winner of numerous awards for his writing, Berger has often been praised for his use of concrete examples and details that have enabled him to simplify his subjects without trivializing them.
