Ellen J. Prager writes on geology and marine-related topics for children and adults, and is the assistant dean at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science at the University of Miami. She's the author of The Furious Earth: The Science and Nature of Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and Tsunamis, as well as several of National Geographic's Jump into Science books. SUSAN GREENSTEIN lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. She received her BFA at Pratt Institute where she was exposed to many ways of working and looking at the world. A deep interest in pattern has been a constant inspiration for Greenstein. At times she finds these patterns while observing flora and architecture at how they are interwoven. At other times, Greenstein finds these patterns in a more abstracted form. This can especially be seen in her recent monoprints, which are inspired by memories of patterns.
