Capturing Flight: A Story about Nina Ingle

₱160.00

The Women of Science series of children’s books features stories from the careers of some of the Philippines’ most respected female scientists. It is hoped that these stories find their way into the hearts and minds of our young girls in particular, to spark in them the curiosity and wonder that may lead them to becoming women of science themselves. This series was made possible by the National Book Development Board through its National Book Development Trust Fund Program and its subcommittee on Gender Studies.

Description

Written by Didith T. Rodrigo​
Illustrated by George Vincent Bien

Dr. Angela Nina Ann Rivera Ingle braves not only the forest by going on foot and hiking up a mountain, but she also dares to touch creepy creatures of the dark. How were she and her assistant able to do it? By seing up nets 10 meters high and patiently identifying them without harming or killing them at all. Dr. Ingle is well known for her 1992 publication, “A Key to the Bats of the Philippine Islands,” the first publication of its kind that enabled scientists to identify the 70 indigenous bat species then known in the Philippines. ​
