À propos de cet audio

 An illuminating debut memoir of a woman in science; a moving portrait of a longtime friendship; and a stunningly fresh look at plants that will forever change how you see the natural world

Acclaimed scientist Hope Jahren has built three laboratories in which she’s studied trees, flowers, seeds, and soil. Her first book is a revelatory treatise on plant life—but it is also so much more.

Lab Girl is a book about work, love, and the mountains that can be moved when those two things come together. It is told through Jahren’s remarkable stories: 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 learned to perform lab work done “with both the heart and the hands”; and about the inevitable disappointments, but also the triumphs and exhilarating discoveries, of scientific work.

Yet at the core of this book is the story of a relationship Jahren forged with a brilliant, wounded man named Bill, who becomes her lab partner and best friend. Their sometimes rogue adventures in science take them from the Midwest across the United States and back again, 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’s probing look at plants, her astonishing tenacity of spirit, and her acute insights on nature enliven every page of this extraordinary book. Lab Girl opens your eyes to the beautiful, sophisticated mechanisms within every leaf, blade of grass, and flower petal. Here is an eloquent demonstration of what can happen when you find the stamina, passion, and sense of sacrifice needed to make a life out of what you truly love, as you discover along the way the person you were meant to be.

Jahren weaves words into a wonderful memoir that I was able to identify with in so many ways. Engaging insight into the natural world surrounding us, and what it takes to explore it scientifically, lovingly, humorously and with fierce loyalty.

Really loved this book

This memoir y of a lab scientist is so well written, it is as enthralling as it is informative. The author is clearly passionate about her research but also about the people and the world around her. She clearly describes the challenges of life in the lab and in the field without omitting the challenges of her personal life. This makes the reader cheer for her successes.
Above all, this book is about loyalty.

A wonderful blend of science and life

Beautifully written, funny, and courageously revealing, I loved this book all the way through. Lab Girl has many layered elements artfully sewn together into one strong whole, not unlike the plants she so wonderfully describes.

Fantastic Book
