Publisher's Synopsis
In this book Laura Story Johnson searches for footing amidst the turmoil in the world. She has a way of talking about science that does not make this book textbook-like and reels you in from the first essay and all of the way through. She shares her adventures with us through impactful narrations of not only SARS but through her travels and life's experiences that make you question everything.
There is a beauty in how Johnson weaves these scientific chapters together. It does not go over your head, nor does it bore. She balances science with life and shocking events that make us feel human as we think, "What would we do?" Her tellings of how nature works combine with her descriptions of how we see those natural wonders like stars. This quick read will stay in your mind and heart for a very long time because of how well the book flows.
