Why would anyone want to fly a plane into the eye of a hurricane? What would entice a young woman to explore a deep treacherous underwater cave? How would anyone climb a redwood tree that has no sturdy branches below the height of a 25-story building?
This title uncovers the working lives of 3 extreme scientists, investigating what they do, why they do it, and what it was that first roused their interest in such work.
Each story is followed by a series of quick questions answered by the scientists.
An interesting read accompanied by enthralling photographs.
