(01.05.01) The Children's Book Council has selected the WestEd publication, Dr. Art's Guide to Planet Earth, as an "Outstanding Science Trade Book for Children for 2001." This award is the result of a cooperative project between the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) and the Children's Book Council. Dr. Art's Guide was also highlighted as a "Selector's Choice," a special designation for books to which the review panelists responded with particular enthusiasm. "Dr. Art" is WestEd's Art Sussman, who directs the WestEd Eisenhower Regional Consortium, and who developed his guide to support a new cross-disciplinary approach to science known as Earth systems science.
