Geobiologist Hope Jahren has spent her life studying trees, flowers, seeds, and soil. 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. In these pages, Hope takes us back to her Minnesota childhood, where she spent hours playing in her father's college laboratory. She tells us how she found a sanctuary in science, working "with both the heart and the hands." She introduces us to Bill, her brilliant, eccentric lab partner. And she extends the mantle of scientist to each of us. Warm, luminous, compulsively readable. Lab Girl vividly demonstrates the mountains that can be moved when love and work come together. "Brilliant, extraordinary, delightfully, wickedly funny, powerful and disarming." – The washington Post "Clear, compelling and uncompromisingly honest. Hope Jahren is the voice that science has been waiting for." – Nature. Daftar Isi Part One: Roots and Leaves Part Two: Wood and Knots Part ThreeL Flowers and Fruit
