This author of over 100 non-fiction books on various science topics makes science concepts intriguing and understandable to her readers. A talent on local television shows about science, Markle has also helped create science shows for CNN and PBS. Markle was honored as a chosen writer to go to Antarctica in 1996 and 1998.
