Melissa L. SevignyBrave the Wild River: The Untold Story of Two Women Who Mapped the Botany of the Grand Canyon

Really enjoyable telling of the story of two women botanists who travelled down the Colorado river in the summer of 1938 - at a time when river running was not something women were seen to be able to do.The book combines science, history and adventure in an engaging way.Would highly recommend to anyone who is interested in the American West, women's contributions to science or ecology.
