Magic in a drop of water : how Ruth Patrick taught the world about water pollution / written by Julie Winterbottom ; illustrated by Susan Reagan.
"A brilliant scientist and intrepid explorer, the ecologist Ruth Patrick taught the world how to care for the environment. She studied water pollution long before it became a public concern and gave other scientists the tools to do something about it. Born in 1907, Ruth Patrick was one of the only women in her field when she made her breakthrough discovery about biodiversity and the ecosystem of rivers, forever changing how ecologists understand pollution."-- Provided by publisher.
