Extreme Scientists: Exploring nature’s mysteries from perilous places by Donna M. Jackson (Houghton Mifflin Books for Children, 2000)
series: Scientists in the Field
genre: Non-fiction, sciences
age: 11 years +
honors: none
review: If it’s flying into the eye of a hurricane, going to the depths of caves, or climbing the giant redwoods, these extreme scientists are going to great lengths to simply go to work. Their jobs help us learn more about the world we live in and how to make it better through conservation and preservation.
opinion: The three scientists in this book all took something they loved and made it a career. In itself, it’s inspiring; but reading about the things they do and how their efforts make for a better earth, really is awe-inspiring.
ideas: Kids who have interests in weather, caves or forests would love this book for the information as well as the scientists who are carving out niches in these fields.
