Industry Reviews

Scientist concentrates mainly on the question "What does a scientist do?" by briefly spotlighting specialists in one field of study after another, page by page: botanists, geologists, marine biologists, paleontologists, and, more broadly, archaeologists and "scientists who make robots." The series offers books that may be useful to teachers introducing careers to young children, and certain volumes will fit right into Community Helpers units as well.--Carolyn Phelan"Booklist" (11/15/2016)
