Science at the Extreme
Science at the ExtremeBy Peter Lane Taylor. From the back cover: [This} is a book about survival. On one level, this means scientists taking harrowing chances as they gather data that will expand our awareness of the earth's intricate, interdependent systems. …but in today's rapidly changing world, it's not just the scientist's own survival that is at risk. Whether their research focuses on individual creatures such as the black caiman and the great white shark, on the ecology of sulfur caves and deep freshwater caverns, or on the safety of human settlements near active volcanoes, these expeditions remind us of a basic truth. Communities of life that may be at the edge of our awareness are still of the utmost importance to the vitality of our planet. Hardcover, 271 pp., ©2001 Condition: New.
