Girls Who Looked Under Rocks: The Lives of Six Pioneering Naturalists

The six women portrayed in this book all grew up to become award-winning scientists and writers, as comfortable with a pen or paintbrush as with a magnifying glass. They all started out as girls who didn't run from spiders or snakes, but crouched down to take a closer look. Their stories, contained in this book, remind us to look and to look harder, and then to look again. Under rotten logs and in puddles, there are amazing things to see.
