(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Arbornaut: A Life Discovering the Eighth Continent in the Trees Above Us
by
Meg Lowman
Kim
, November 06, 2021
Must read for young females. The book is meant for adults but very inspirational for older teens. Meg discusses her journey to be one of the first two scientists to climb into the canopies of forests around the world. She educates about trees throughout the book with educational chapters on specific species and on different research of hers throughout the book. She discusses the challenges of being a female scientist in a male-dominated field, that only just started to open up to females when her career started. She discusses the me-too movement and how she actively works to open up the STEM field, especially with "arbornauts", to females and minorities. Finally, she puts emphasis on climate change and the work she has done to try and slow the change. The chapters tend to bounce around but readers can still keep track. Definitely recommend.
