Gr 4-6-Fascinating overviews of scientists at work outside of the lab will certainly capture the attention and imagination of readers as they join these risk-taking professionals in the field. The exciting and the mundane are covered as the text details on-the-job dangers and everyday tasks. The inclusion of numerous color photos allows readers to see individuals working in such extreme locations as the Aquarius underwater lab and Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station. Graphic organizers, such as charts, tables, and graphs, and informative fact boxes enhance the text by giving readers a better understanding of these STEM careers. The true allure, however, is in the series' choice of subjects, which includes lesser-explored extreme jobs in cave geology and Antarctic research as well as familiar high-interest careers as forensic scientists and astronauts. VERDICT First-purchase considerations for most collections.
