She continues to break the mold of scientist by revealing how she pursued a life of research while raising a family literally in the jungle. This book is an inspiration and Margaret Lowman an original with her fascinating insights on motherhood and saving this planet. But most of all Lowman provides a beautifully written plea for why everyone can and must find a reason for hope. Her eloquent prose will resonate with readers of all ages and educational backgrounds."--Richard Wiese, President, Explorers Club, "A lively, readable book that will help to educate a variety of readers about scientific research and processes in forest environments, as well as the importance of environmental conservation."-Ellen Wohl, Colorado State University
