Here she tells how, amid a childhood of terrible trauma, she fell in love with science as a means of healing and consolation. In telling her story-- and that of a massive asteroid called (16) Psyche, which has the potential to unlock the story of how planets form, and how our planet formed-- she takes us from the wilds of the Siberian tundra, to the furthest reaches of outer space, and to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where her team brought the Psyche mission to life. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 523.4092 Elkins-Tanton El Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 523.4092 Elkins-Tanton Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 523.4092 Elkins-Tanton El Checked In Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Biography B Elkins-Tanton El Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 523.4092 Elkins-Tanton El Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 523.4092 Elkins-Tanton El Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 523.4092 Elkins-Tanton El Checked In Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 523.4092 Elkins-Tanton El Checked In Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Biography B Elkins-Tanton El item being mended Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Nonfiction 523.4092 Elkins-Tanton El Checked In Add Copy to MyList
