Summary:
"Volcanologist and natural hazards expert Jess Phoenix has dedicated her life to scientific exploration. Her career path--hard earned in the still male-dominated world of science--has shoved her headlong into deep-sea submersibles, congressional races, glittering cocktail parties at Manhattan's elite Explorers Club, and numerous pairs of Caterpillar work boots. Ms. Adventure is her riveting, rolling blend of personal memoir, daring adventure, scientific exploration, and girl power."--Back cover.
