Lab Girl

Title Lab Girl Author Hope Jahren Call Number McNaughton Location 1st Floor McNaughton Rating Highly Recommended Book Review Lab Girl is one of the most fascinating books I’ve read in a long time. On the surface, it is the memoir of soils and plant biologist Hope Jahren, making her way in a male-dominated discipline. But like the world she studies, there are deeper layers in this tale. Jahren weaves intriguing insights into plants – now I know why leaves at the tops of trees are smaller than their pals down below – with her personal journey, which is not an easy one. Like a tenacious tree, she survives. Submitted By Dawn Department or Major SMC Status Staff Chapman Email bonker@chapman.edu
