fourteen scientists and fourteen ways we can save our planet

"Who do you think of when you imagine a climate scientist? Maybe a biologist? Or a chemist? But economists study the climate too! Meet fourteen scientists who are working to fight the climate crisis and discover the surprising ways they are doing it. Author and neuroscientist Laura Gehl introduces readers to these incredible scientists, the projects they are working on, and what inspired them to choose their fields of study. From ecology to civil engineering, computer modeling to food science, we have lots of ways to combat climate change. While reading about different areas of science and climate solutions, find out what you can do to make a difference." --Book jacket
