I had never heard of the series before. I have not seen the other ones yet. It seems like this book and the others in the Science Wide Open series might be rending tears in the fabric of the mascochistic male dominated society which is STEM. Or is it STEAM?

This series is excellent. I was given a copy from ABC-Clio and I wish I’d had these when I was a kid. Superb!
