Anthropologists, scientists who study humans and their ways of life, are continually finding and interpreting artifacts left by our earliest ancestors. They have helped us understand our origins as well as the intriguing cultures that developed as humans spread across Earth. This volume is a concise introduction to this diverse and fascinating field. Readers will learn of the various branches of anthropology, including archaeology and biological anthropology, and how anthropologists of different disciplines collaborate to shed light on the mysteries of times past. Essential science vocabulary, thought-provoking sidebars, and a variety of STEM topics make this book a must-read for future scientists.

Chemists have made innumerable contributions, ones that both expand our scientific knowledge and provide us with materials that improve our everyday lives. Young readers will learn about the basics of chemistry (such as elements and compounds), the various branches of chemistry (including organic chemistry and physical chemistry), and the history of the field. Sidebars introduce key terminology or pose questions that get students to think critically about what they've read. This volume will prove useful both in career units and for introducing elementary school students to a key STEM field.

Objects in the sky have fascinated mankind since the beginning of time, and they continue to do so today. The men and women who work in the field of astronomy are tasked with identifying, tracking, and learning about stars, planets, and other celestial matter. Readers will be introduced to the field of astronomy and learn about its history and current applications. The work of astronomers is examined, and the tools of the trade discussed. Recent discoveries and the latest technology are featured, providing the most up-to-date information available.

Engineering is an increasingly important field in our technology-driven marketplace. Those students with an engineering background will have a great advantage in the job market. This essential volume introduces readers to what engineers do as well as the various branches of the field. Also, it helps young people learn to understand problems and find solutions to them, which is so much of what engineering is all about. This book is a great resource for any student interested in applying math and problem solving to real-world challenges.

Geology-the study of the Earth itself, its makeup and structure, and the processes that form them-is endlessly fascinating. Geologists help us understand our world and provide knowledge that helps government and industry keep society functioning. The vibrant imagery, highlighted vocabulary, and other learning tools in this resource will give students an overview of different geological disciplines, inform them of the everyday problems these scientists must solve, and highlight tools and methods they use. It provides budding young scientists and casual science fans alike a glimpse of geologists at work that is both thrilling and informative.
