Life in the Treetops: Adventures of a Woman in Field Biology - Forest canopies have been characterized as one of the last biotic frontiers on Earth - tree crowns have been difficult to study scientifically because access to them has been so challenging. During the past two decades, however, methods for canopy access have greatly improved. In this book the author describes the mysteries of the treetops - their inhabitants, flowers and fruits, growth and mortality, patterns of diversity, and plant and animal interactions......... Small hardcover book in very good condition. Blue boards, spine with gold titling all in very good condition except for very slight fading at the top edges. Graphical endpapers are a map of the canopy sites and are unmarked. Pages are clean with not markings. Dust jacket is very nice with only very minor edge wear. Very nice GIFTABLE copy.........

biographical,biographies,biographies and history,biography and history,biological sciences,biology,biology and life sciences,ecosystems,gender studies,nature, Life in the Treetops: Adventures of a Woman in Field Biology, Life in the Treetops reflects many of the difficulties faced by women scientists in all fields. Margaret Lowman, a field biologist specializing in forest-canopy research, shows how dealing with the emotional challenges is as tough as or tougher than dangling from a precarious perch counting beetles or facing down a deadly sea snake. This chronicle of her adventures (and misadventures) among the treetops encourages readers to understand both the science and the scientist. One can't help but sympathize with Lowman as she struggles to be a good researcher and a traditional rural housewife at the same time, and fails. Luckily, her kids and parents always remain supportive, taking care of the house during her long absences and accompanying her to faraway research stations when possible. Lowman studies small things--leaves and insects, mostly--and getting to them can be tricky. She chronicles the history of forest-canopy research techniques (which have grown apace with her career), starting with simple climbing gear and ending with treetop walkways and giant construction cranes. Life in the Treetops is an engaging look at one woman's struggle to find balance, whether she's high up in a tree or on the ground with her fellow humans. --Therese Littleton.
