Published on the occasion of the exhibition, Deep Time: Sea Dragons of Nevada, the Nevada Museum of Art introduces a children’s book celebrating women in science by honoring the achievements of Annie Alexander. The story follows the journey of Alexander as she embarks from her home in California on a trip to the faraway desert mountains of Nevada in search of fossils. Through brilliant and colorful illustrations, readers learn about the plants and animals of the desert environment, ichthyosaur fossil discoveries, extinction, and climate change. A brief biography of Alexander is also included and serves as a teaching tool for STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) educators.
Annie Alexander’s Amazing Adventure: An American Fossil Expedition in Nevada is written by Ann M. Wolfe with illustrations by Nevada-based artist Kate O'Hara.
