Archimedes Notebook "This is another great title in the Girls in Science series. But here's the cool thing: you don't have to be a girl to read it. Sure, it focuses on three women who conduct weather science, and yes, there are lots of short biographies of even more women in meteorology... But the first two chapters introduce the science of meteorology and why it is important."
