1. Starred Review for PARK SCIENTISTS!

School Library Journal gives my new book in the Scientists in the Field series, Park Scientists: Gila Monsters, Geysers, and Grizzly Bears in America’s Own Backyard a starred review in its May/June issue!!

School Library Journal *Review*: “This entry in this popular series focuses on the study of selected plants, animals, and geologic formations in three of our most famous national parks, which are akin to “natural laboratories and living museums.” ... Pertinent, attention-grabbing, full-color photographs and captions, maps, infrared images, and diagrams accompany the fascinating, informative text in each section. Featured experts provide primary-source information for each topic covered...Overall, this is a well-written, unique, carefully organized treat for nature lovers and investigators.”
