Synopsis
As a volcanologist, natural hazards expert, and founder of Blueprint Earth, Jess Phoenix has dedicated her life to scientific exploration. Her career path—hard earned in the male-dominated world of science—has led her into still-flowing Hawaiian lava fields, congressional races, glittering cocktail parties at Manhattan’s elite Explorers Club, and numerous pairs of Caterpillar work boots. It has also inspired her to devote her life to making science more inclusive and accessible. Ms. Adventure blends personal memoir, daring adventure, and scientific exploration, following Phoenix’s journey from reality television sites deep in Ecuadorian jungles to Andean glaciers, university classrooms to Death Valley in summer.
My Review
This was a great read that was so interesting. I loved the way that it followed the author's story from education and through her research days. It was interesting to learn that this path was almost accidental. As in the early days, she struggled to find an interesting subject to study. It was brilliant learning about the research she was involved in. From getting samples from land volcanoes. Through to time spent on a research vessel looking at deep ocean volcanoes. It's certainly not a career for the faint-hearted. There were plenty of issues and problems to overcome. This book was well-written and kept my interest throughout. The only thing missing in this book was pictures especially since the author describes posing for domestic interesting pictures.
So much praise goes out to the author and publishers for bringing us this wonderful journey.
