| Abstract | "This book presents the autobiographies of eight professional earth scientists from underrepresented groups. They relate the joys and horrors; the help and the harm; and the care, hatred, and indifference they saw in their quests for earth science careers. All became successful, most often despite their circumstances, finding the courage to resist and even fight through the prejudice, bias, ignorance, and indifference that still characterize our society and our profession today"-- Provided by publisher. |
