4.0 out of 5 stars Is Marine Biology the right career for you?, July 3, 2000

This review is from: You Can Be a Woman Marine Biologist (Paperback)

This book tells a lot of great information on how to start a career of marine biology. You learn about how a marine biologist decided to be a marine biologist and if marine biology is the right occupation for you. This book was very helpful since I'm planning on being a marine biologist. It also teaches you about the kingdoms of the sea and their Latin names. In addition to this great book there is a wonderful cd. It tells you all about this marine biologist and her life. Also it shows you pictures of what she sees when she dives . I think the cd is really the big learning help. It is full of facts. This is a great learning opportunity for youngsters. I give this book 4 golden stars!

I must have missed an age reference on this book. It's definitely for YOUNG elementary children or beginning readers.

3.0 out of 5 stars good material cheaply presented-needs upgrading, January 6, 2012

This review is from: You Can Be a Woman Marine Biologist (Paperback)

The cover is WOW and the inside information is useful but the inside pages are printed on color Xerox paper (to keep the cost down?) and not worth $7 cost new. It will also not hold up very long under use.

This is such a good series with real potential. Can't it be re-worked with better quality photographs or full color drawings and printed on semi-gloss paper?
