Review

This book is another excellent entry in the Scientists in the Field series.Inside the Biosphere 2 structure are an ocean, a rainforest, a savannah, and giant hillsides of new soil. Inside, there are many scientists who can control the atmosphere and do experiments they could not do anywhere else with the goal of learning more about climate change, weather, water, and much more. Wonderful photographs are clearly explained. Diagrams and maps help further some explanations. One of the best things about the book is the extensive "Find Out More" and "Quotes and Bibliography" sections at the end that will steer interested young researchers to more solid information. There is also a glossary and extensive index. An excellent book to add to your science collections.

Overall Book Score: excellent
