My wild explorations in science, lava, and life

The founder of the environmental scientific research organization Blueprint Earth tells the story of her career in geology, the barriers she faced while advocating for more diversity in science, and her incredible adventures.

"As a volcanologist, natural hazards expert, and founder of Blueprint Earth, Jess Phoenix has dedicated her life to scientific exploration. Her career path hard earned in the male-dominated world of science has led her into still-flowing Hawaiian lava fields, congressional races, glittering cocktail parties at Manhattan’s elite Explorers Club, and numerous pairs of Caterpillar work boots. It has also inspired her to devote her life to making science more inclusive and accessible. Ms. Adventure blends personal memoir, daring adventure, and scientific exploration, following Phoenix’s journey from reality television sites deep in Ecuadorian jungles to Andean glaciers, university classrooms to Death Valley in summer."--From publisher.
