Girl from the laboratory

Trees, like people, are stubborn, inventive and able to adapt to any conditions. Geobiologist Hope Jaren, three times the Fulbright program scholarship, has been studying trees, seeds, flowers and soil for more than 20 years and does not cease to be surprised at the striking capabilities of plants. Her book “Girl from the Laboratory” is an autobiography of a scientist in love with her work. The author’s personal story is interspersed with fascinating stories about the secret life of plants. Jaren witty and excitingly tells about the thorny path of the researcher: of curiosity as the driving force of scientific thought, about long months of failure in an attempt to collect the necessary data, about the difficulties in obtaining funding, about the fidelity of those with whom you work together, and the joy of scientific insight.
This world bestseller, translated into several languages, will introduce you to amazing examples of vitality and will allow you to look at the world of plants in a new way
