Eclipse Chaser Eruption! Extreme Scientists Eye of the Storm Impact!
Eclipse Chaser Eruption! Extreme Scientists Eye of the Storm Impact!
Read More About Weather with the Scientist in the Field Series! The August 2017 solar eclipse is the chance of a lifetime for astronomer Shadia Habbal—years of planning come down to one moment of totality. Will everything go off as planned? A stunning account of volcanologists Andy Lockhart, John Pallister, and their group of scientists who risk their lives, investigating deadly volcanoes that remain constant threats to people around the world. From hunting hurricanes to scaling rocky caves, to climbing soaring redwoods, three "daredevil" scientists go to great extremes in their quests to save lives, preserve species, and better understand the way our planet works. A daring team of NASA scientists are using a repurposed Global Hawk drone to conduct hurricane science like never before Follow scientists as they search for dangerous asteroids in space, study asteroids that have crashed into the ground, and strive to prevent an asteroid strike if one ever threatens our planet.
Inside Biosphere 2 Life on Surtsey Next Wave Tornado Scientist
Inside Biosphere 2 Life on Surtsey The Next Wave The Tornado Scientist
An incredible look inside a three-acre laboratory greenhouse that is home to an artificial ocean, rainforest, marshland, and rock structures, where scientists do large-scale studies and experiments to better understand our Biosphere 1 (Earth)! Join scientists as they tackle colonization. Not a colonization by people, but one of cells, seeds, spores, and other life forms that blow in, fly in, float in, and struggle to survive on the beautiful but harsh new island of Surtsey. An electrifying story of the scientists and engineers who are working to transform ocean waves into electricity that energizes our lives. Scientist Robin Tanamachi and her team are trying to save countless lives across America’s heartland, chasing one tornado at a time.

Product description

Review

* "Lively design, clear explanations, text boxes, photographs and diagrams all contribute to an informative look at how people are working right now to find ways to use a previously inaccessible energy source." —Kirkus, starred review   "Rusch fully explores the engineering process, capturing the determined, entrepreneurial spirit of the profiled engineers as well as the need for creative problem-solving and ingenuity, a test-and-retest mentality, a high tolerance for failure, and perseverance through the quest for research funding." —Horn Book Magazine   * "This pellucid look into a promising field of alternative energy (so needed in a warming world) and into the scientists devoting their lives to bring concept into reality is informative, intriguing, and inspiring." —School Library Journal, starred review  "Kids who imagine an engineering career in their future will want to explore this timely work." —Bulletin   "Rusch once again looks at the convergence of science and technology. Writing clearly about the engineers' trial-and-error methods, she conveys the importance of testing, the necessity of funding, and the satisfaction of working toward a worthwhile goal." A fine choice for young people intrigued by engineering and oceanography!" —Booklist Online   —

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I am an award-winning book author, magazine writer, editor, writing teacher and speaker. My wide-ranging passions include current events, astronomy, volcanology, art, music, history, nature, waves, jokes, crayons, and mud — anything that catches my fancy. I am inspired by stories of exploration and discovery, stories that have been overlooked by history, and stories that grapple with persistent questions. Whether writing fiction or nonfiction for children or adults or teaching workshops, I hope my work opens doors, opens minds, opens possibilities.

Please visit my website to explore more about my books, my articles, my editing, and my school visits and writing workshops. I also offer reading and activity guides for many of my books. Enjoy!
