Warm, luminous, compulsively readable, Lab Girl vividly demonstrates the mountains that we can move when love and work come together.
And she extends the mantle of scientist to each one of her readers, inviting us to join her in observing and protecting our environment.
She introduces us to Bill, her brilliant, eccentric lab manager.
She tells us how she found a sanctuary in science, learning to perform lab work with both the heart and the hands.
In these pages, Hope takes us back to her Minnesota childhood, where she spent hours in unfettered play in her father\'s college laboratory.
Lab Girl is her revelatory treatise on plant life--but it is also a celebration of the lifelong curiosity, humility, and passion that drive every scientist. --Barack Obama, via Facebook Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Autobiography A New York Times Notable Book Geobiologist Hope Jahren has spent her life studying trees, flowers, seeds, and soil.
