Life in the Treetops: Adventures of a Woman in Field Biology
by Margaret D. Lowman
On This Page
Description
"In this book a pioneer canopy scientist describes the mysteries of the treetops - their inhabitants, flowers and fruits, growth and mortality, patterns of diversity, and plant and animal interactions. Margaret Lowman writes about different canopy access techniques in conjunction with the scientific hypotheses she was addressing while using each one. She also portrays the life of a field biologist from a woman's perspective: what it was like to juggle a demanding career with marriage, show more housewifery, motherhood, and single parenthood."--Jacket. show lessTags

All about the science of studying the topes of forests, especially rain forests. Very readable as well. However, it raises the question - how do women reconcile family life and careers? What do truly driven people do? They are the ones that discover significant things about this world.
