She dreamed of a future where she could spend sleepless nights under the crowded canopies of the Amazon and the starry skies of the savanna. But as Rae set off on her own expeditions in the wild, she saw nature's delicate balance in a new light. Wild Life follows Rae on her adventures and explorations in some of the world's most remote locales. Hers is a story about a nearly twenty-year career in the wild—carving a niche as one of very few Black female scientists—and the challenges she had to overcome, expectations she had to leave behind, and the many lessons she learned along the way. An incredible journey spanning the Great Plains of North America to the rainforests of Madagascar, Wild Life sheds light on our pivotal relationship and responsibility to the natural world and the relatives—both human and otherwise—that we share it with." --publisher's website 600 10 Wynn-Grant, Rae. 650 0 African American women scientists|vBiography. 650 0 Wildlife conservationists|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 Women ecologists|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 African Americans|vBiography. 650 0 Nature|xPsychological aspects. 650 0 Environmentalism. 650 0 Autobiographies. 655 7 Autobiographies.|2lcgft
