Descriere Investigating Nature: Women Who Led the Way (Super Sheroes of Science): Women Who Led the Way (Super Sheroes of Science) - Anita Dalal

\nThis brand-new series highlights some of the major contributions women have made in the world of science. \n\n \nWomen have led the way in learning about the living things with which we share the planet. They have discovered dinosaur fossils and the tools made by our earliest ancestors, and were among the pioneers of the study of insects. They have spent years living with chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans in order to better understand the connections between humans and other primates. They have also pioneered the investigation of the genes by which adult organisms pass on characteristics to their young. Women were also among the most important pioneers in the conservation of the Earth's most fragile ecosystems. This book tells their stories and describes their vital contributions.\n \n\n \nABOUT THE SERIES: \n \n\n \nFrom studying the stars to curing disease, understanding plants and animals, pioneering computer studies, and unraveling the secrets of atoms and molecules, women have played a vital role in scientific advances since the ancient world. Yet their contributions have often gone unrecognized or, worse, have been credited to others. With lively text, photography, and art, Super SHEroes of Science sets out to redress the balance and give credit where it's due. It examines the contributions to various fields of science of individual women from around the world!\n
