Understanding Earth : women who led the way / by Dickmann, Nancy,author.(CARDINAL)331568;
Includes bibliographical references (page 48) and index.Super SHEroes change the world-- Biographies. Eunice Newton Foote -- Marie Curie -- At work with Marie Curie -- Katia Krafft -- At work with Katia Krafft -- Wendy Mao -- June Bacon-Bercey -- Rocio Caballero-Gill -- Marie-Anne Paulze Lavoisier -- Inge Lehmann -- Florence Bascom -- Lise Meitner -- Marie Tharp -- Sau Lan Wu -- Timeline -- Where in the world? -- Words of wisdom."This brand-new series highlights some of the major contributions women have made in the world of science. What shapes our planet? Women have been answering the question for centuries on many levels. Scientists such as Marie Curie have investigated the building blocks of matter, and the physical forces that act upon them. Geologists have studied the rocks beneath our feet by venturing dangerously close to erupting volcanoes, and have figured out what lies at Earth's center and why its surface moves as it does. Women have also led the way in exploring the planet's atmosphere and the causes and effects of climate change, the most urgent problem scientists are trying to solve. This book tells their stories and describes their vital contributions."--Ages 8-10.Grades 4-6.860L

The year science changed everything : 1957's International Geophysical Year and the future of our planet / by O'Connell, Mark(Screenwriter),author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."In 1957, 6,000 scientists from 66 nations achieved the impossible: they erased political borders for 18 months to unlock Earth's greatest mysteries-and changed science forever. The International Geophysical Year (IGY) of 1957 marked humanity's first unified effort to understand our planet, launching the space race, discovering the Van Allen radiation belts, and producing groundbreaking climate research that shapes our world today. Through exclusive interviews with modern climate leaders-including the late marine biologist and climate researcher Dr. Wallace J. Nichols, science diplomat and Senior Fellow at United Nations Institute for Training and Research Paul Arthur Berkman, Frank Niepold at the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), science historian Rebecca Charbonneau, and many more-author Mark O'Connell reveals how this historic collaboration offers a blueprint for tackling today's environmental challenges. Key discoveries from this groundbreaking initiative: Sparked the space race and satellite technology development Led to the first comprehensive mapping of ocean floors Produced the Antarctic Treaty, protecting an entire continent Established the foundation for modern climate science Created a model for international scientific cooperation As climate change threatens our planet, The Year Science Changed Everything shows how the spirit of global scientific unity that transformed 1957 might be our best hope for safeguarding Earth's future. "-- Provided by publisher."In this book, Mark O'Connell charts the struggles and successes of 1957's International Geophysical Year alongside interviews with today's leading environmental scientists to show that the time is right for another global environmental initiative"-- Provided by publisher.

Strange science: oddball inventions, disastrous discoveries, eccentric scientists, and Earth-shattering eurekas / by Portable Press (San Diego, Calif.)(CARDINAL)494324;
From archaeology to zoology, from alien DNA to X-ray guns, this epic edition from the editors at Portable Press delves into the weirdest of weird science. While combing through the strangest discoveries from days of yore through the modern age, we found that science can be used to do almost anything: solve history's mysteries, cure diseases, get better at sports, increase the world's food supply, and make people's lives easier ... or shorter (cue ominous music). Strange Science has all this and more, it will answer questions about the human body, correct common misconceptions, arm you with scientific lingo, reveal the truth behind bad science, and even teach you a little about quantum physics!

The last day : a novel / by Murray, Andy(Andrew Hunter),author.(CARDINAL)429477;
"A visionary and powerful debut thriller set in a terrifyingly plausible dystopian near-future-with clear parallels to today's headlines-in which the future of humanity lies in the hands of one woman, a scientist who has stumbled upon a secret that the government will go to any lengths to keep hidden A world half in darkness. A secret she must bring to light. It is 2059, and the world has crashed. Forty years ago, a solar catastrophe began to slow the planet's rotation to a stop. Now, one half of the globe is permanently sunlit, the other half trapped in an endless night. The United States has colonized the southern half of Great Britain-lucky enough to find itself in the narrow habitable region left between frozen darkness and scorching sunlight-where both nations have managed to survive the ensuing chaos by isolating themselves from the rest of the world. Ellen Hopper is a scientist living on a frostbitten rig in the cold Atlantic. She wants nothing more to do with her country after its slide into casual violence and brutal authoritarianism. Yet when two government officials arrive, demanding she return to London to see her dying college mentor, she accepts-and begins to unravel a secret that threatens not only the nation's fragile balance, but the future of the whole human race"--
