How does children's physical environment shape who they become? Sara Stein interweaves her own observations with those of linguists, biologists, and other experts to reveal the world through the eyes of children, illuminating the features that their nature leads them to expers (but not contemporary life often fails to supply): a place they will come to know intimately through their own explorations: . . .

Possibly the book that led me to study biology, at least a contributor. I haven't read it since I was a kid, so this may be updated when I revisit it. What I remember was a sprawling journey through a wide range of topics, including trilobytes, taking home road kill to study the bones, experiments kids could do, etc. There is an aged feel to it now, with black and white photographs and 80s-looking kids. I'd love to see this updated and with a website.
