(2) 4-6 Scientists in the Field series. This volume profiles three stereotype-shattering scientists whose field research provides some pretty intense experiences: a meteorologist/hurricane hunter, microbiologist/caver, and ecologist/redwood climber. Jackson hits just the right balance between informative descriptions of the science and excitement surrounding the risks involved. The numerous intriguing photos achieve this balance as well, showcasing all three scientists both in the lab and out in their elements. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
