Reviews
Grade 9 Up—A compilation of 34 interviews from the Science Teacher journal. From astronaut to video-game level designer, each entry poses questions that go beyond basic education requirements and job responsibilities. Some vary by field; an oceanographer is asked, "What has been your scariest experience?" a bomb investigator, "What is your biggest accomplishment?" In describing a typical day and giving advice to students, each individual puts a personal spin on the positive characteristics of the career choice. While not all fields included require advanced degrees, all require an interest in math and science. An excellent choice for career collections, Sullivan's book not only encourages students to take as much math and science as possible in high school, but also emphasizes the commitment to lifelong learning critical for most 21st-century jobs.—Kathy Lehman, Thomas Dale High School Library, Chester, VA
