Sacred Depths of Nature

"Goodenough presents her scientific knowledge as stories, with plot twists and turns that trigger a 'what's next?' curiosity....For a scientist like myself, [her] elegant narratives provide a refreshing way to encounter familiar material. I was especially impressed with her ability to cut right to the quick, so that within a few short pages the reader is whisked from the big bang to the emergence of our planet and the birth of life on earth....Would that all scientific texts were so carefully conceived and beautifully written."Goodenough, Ursula is the author of 'Sacred Depths of Nature', published 2000 under ISBN 9780195136296 and ISBN 0195136292.
