Frank Eugene Lutz became an entomologist at a time when this
science was still new. He was one of the first to set up
experiments in the study of heredity using the common fruit fly. In
his many field trips he observed unusual insects in their natural
habitats and brought back thousands of valuable specimens. As
curator of the Department of Entomology at the American Museum of
Natural History, he was responsible for innovations in labeling and
museum display. His observations of more than one thousand species
found in his own back yard were the basis for his classic book,
Lots of Insects. He set up the first nature trail in America;
devising museum exhibits in natural outdoor settings. This first
biography of one of the great American entomologists is filled with
all the excitement that is to be found in the strange and infinite
world of insects. Here is the fascinating story of Dr. Lutz s
career along with a series of natured projects you can do at home
that will help you observe insect behavior for yourself. Projects
include: Bringing Insects to You, The Hows of Collecting, and
Preserving and Mounting. While we already know much about insect
life, much, much more remains to be learned. Even the amateur
entomologist can make a contribution to science through their own
research "
Karl Patterson Schmidt was one of America's most influential
naturalists. In his special field of herpetology-the study of
reptiles and amphibians-he made fascinating discoveries about the
habits of snakes and their environment. This biography follows his
exciting career from his boyhood in Lake Forest, Illinois, through
his college days at Cornell, his participation in geological
expeditions, his first job as a herpetologist at the American
Museum of Natural History, and his later expeditions which took him
all over the world. As you trace the path of Schmidt's career, you
can follow his footsteps with a series of fun projects including:
Finding Reptiles and Amphibians and Assembling a Scrap Book of
Herpetological Pets. All the equipment you need is inexpensive or
easily made. With patience and persistence you can find reptiles
and amphibians wherever you happen to live.

From award-winning author Tanita S. Davis comes a nuanced
exploration of the microaggressions of middle school and a young
Black girl named Madalyn who learns that being a good friend means
dealing with the blue skies and the rain-and having the tough
conversations on days that are partly cloudy. Perfect for fans of A
Good Kind of Trouble and From the Desk of Zoe Washington. Lightning
couldn't strike twice, could it? After a terrible year, Madalyn
needs clear skies desperately. Moving in with her great-uncle, Papa
Lobo, and switching to a new school is just the first step. It's
not all rainbows and sunshine, though. Madalyn discovers she's the
only Black girl in her class, and while most of her classmates are
friendly, assumptions lead to some serious storms. Papa Lobo's
long-running feud with neighbor Mrs. Baylor brings wild weather of
its own, and Madalyn wonders just how far things will go. But when
fire threatens the community, Madalyn discovers that truly being
neighborly means more than just staying on your side of the street-
it means weathering tough conversations-and finding that together a
family can pull through anything. Award-winning author Tanita S.
Davis shows us that life isn't always clear, and that partly cloudy
days still contain a bit of blue worth celebrating.
