Nature Speaks: To Life: Jews Exploring Nature

There have been few if any books on Jews who studied the various facets of natural history.  There have certainly been those who have done so in the past and in the current world there are many, but for a host of reasons natural history as a career or serious avocation was much less common in the past. To Life: Jews Exploring Nature offers a unique exploration of Jewish engagement with nature through compelling biographies of eight selected subjects. These people manifested different aspects of Jewish identity and made significant contributions to their fields. The accounts place the contributions of this diverse mix of individuals into a richly biographical context that connects the personal with the professional, thus providing insights  into their lives and work. In addition, the scientific and environmental topics addressed will become more accessible to a wider array of readers who are drawn to the personal narratives.
