The Snake Scientist by Sy Montgomery
The work of scientists can often seem mysterious and intimidating to the nonscientist. No longer With eight titles in the series, Scientists in the Field books show people immersed in the unpredictable and dynamic natural world, making science more accessible, relevant, and exciting to young readers.Far from the research laboratory, these books show first-hand adventures in the great outdoors -- adventures with a purpose. From climbing into a snake den with thousands of slithering snakes, tracking wolves, and swimming with hammerhead sharks, to collecting bugs, readers experience the thrill of discovering the unknown.
