Includes bibliographical references Prologue -- Roots and leaves -- Wood and knots -- Flowers and fruit -- Epilogue Jahren has built three laboratories in which she's studied trees, flowers, seeds, and soil. She tells about her childhood in rural Minnesota with an uncompromising mother and a father who encouraged hours of play in his classroom's labs; about how she found a sanctuary in science, and the disappointments, triumphs and exhilarating discoveries of scientific work. Yet at the core of this book is the story of a relationship Jahren forged with Bill, who becomes her lab partner and best friend. Their sometimes rogue adventures in science take them over the Atlantic to the ever-light skies of the North Pole and to tropical Hawaii, where she and her lab currently make their home Jahren, Hope. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2015066238 12201 Paleobotanists http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85097025 Biography. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001237 12202 Women botanists http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh91001885 Biography. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001237 12203 Biologists United States Biography. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009117090 12204 Geobiology http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh90001574 Research http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006576 Anecdotes. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001294 12205 Austin (Minn.) http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79105963 Biography. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001237 12206 Autobiographies. lcgft http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026047 777 Anecdotes. lcgft http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026044 2545 Biographies. lcgft http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026049 5221 .b142519960 ddc BOOK 28491 28491 ddc 0 0 ABELJ ABELJ NF 2022-09-29 16.00 0 570.92 JAHR 63946 2022-09-29 2022-09-29 BOOK 1
