Editorial Review

“Notable for its clear, direct text and design, this volume recounts biologist Karen Lips’ 1996 visit to a mountain forest in Panama, where she discovered that the Panamanian golden frogs she had studied four years earlier had all died. Lips’ research led to worldwide scientific inquiry and the founding of Project Golden Frog, a program to keep the frogs healthy. Illustrated with excellent photos and microscopic views, this profile of a ‘science detective’ underscores the vital importance of curiosity, inquiry, and shared communication in scientific work.” —Book Links
