• This informative set immerses students in various
STEM-related careers, both familiar and lesser-known. After a
preliminary “Action!” chapter introduces readers to the field,
each volume subsequently and thoroughly addresses
educational requirements (“The Scientists and Their
Science”), equipment (“Tools of the Trade”), and examples
(“Tales from the Field” and “Scientists in the News”).
Text-dependent questions and critical thinking activities
conclude each chapter.
• VERDICT: …this is first-rate nonfiction for
educational or recreational reading.
