Jackson, Donna M. Extreme Scientists: Exploring Nature’s Mysteries from Perilous Places, 75 p. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2009. $!8.00. Extreme author Donna Jackson follows three modern scientists as they pursue perilous career paths. Whether into the eye of a hurricane to study weather patterns, spelunking in to treacherously deep caves to examine microbes or scaling the heights of the mammoth forests to research the life in the forest canopies, these three scientists are constantly outing their lives in danger for their passion and their work. What a great way to introduce students to types of jobs in science that they may not have thought of for themselves. I just wish this book came with a DVD so that the students could hear and see these scientists in action! I can’t get enough of this series. EL, MS – ADVISABLE. Cindy, Library-Teacher.
