Totally Amazing Careers in Environmental Sciences

This book features twelve engaging biographies of living women and men working in environmental sciences from ecologists and microbiologists to environmental reporters, materials scientists, and more. These remarkable scientists and engineers shared their stories with us and provided us with personal photographs. They describe what they do, how they got into it, and why they enjoy it. Next to each biography there are fun activities to do related to each career (crossword puzzles, word jumbles, things to do or wonder about). This book conveys the excitement of environmental sciences and the wide variety of careers available. It also prompts young readers to think about the things they like to do and possible environmental sciences careers.
