"Kids who need convincing that science isn't all white coats and test
tubes will have their eyes opened here." --*The Bulletin

Scientists in the Field to the extreme! When Paul Flaherty goes to work,
he climbs into a four-engine WP-3D Orion turboprop plane and heads
directly into the eye of a hurricane. Miles below, Hazel Barton's job in
microbiology takes her to the depths of the world's most treacherous
caves. And on the other side of the topsoil, way, way above the forest
floor, Stephen Sillett passes his days (and sometimes his nights) in the
canopies of the tallest trees on earth. Welcome to the work--and
worlds--of extreme scientists.
