PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Franklin M . Harold is Professor Emeritus of biochemistry at Colorado State University and Affiliate Professor of microbiology at the University of Washington in Seattle. Born in Germany but raised in the Middle East, he moved to the United States and studied chemistry at the City College of New York. After obtaining his BS, he completed a PhD in comparative biochemistry at the University of California, Berkeley, and later held a postdoctoral fellowship at the California Institute of Technology. He has taught and conducted research for over forty years, mostly in Colorado. Now retired, he remains engaged with science as a writer and lecturer. He is the author of four books, most recently: In Search of Cell History (2014) and his autobiography, To Make the World Intelligible (2017).
The great success of this book is that it brings together evolution and cell biology into a popular science format. It strongly contributes to biology education and communication, especially in the context of its approach to explaining the evolution of complexity * Franklin M. Harold, Quarterly Review of Biology * Readers finish the book in awe at the still-unanswered questions that continue to confound understanding of the earliest steps toward cellular life and the greater complexity of multicellular organisms. * S. K. Sommers Smith, CHOICE * Franklin M. Harold is a master at finding the humane boundaries of human knowledge. On Life is a finely cut gem for those who are curious about life's biggest questions. His prose is at once clear and poetic, folksy and inspiring. This is the zenith of a lifetime's quest to seek meaning in science. * Nick Lane, Professor of Evolutionary Biochemistry, University College London and author of The Vital Question: Why Is Life the Way it Is? * Writing about 'life' can be tricky, but it is a topic I look forward to diving into when it's written by someone like Franklin M. Harold. He has such a long a record of scientific thought and experimentation, and he is able to cover both hard evidence as well as philosophical implications in an accessible way. On Life is an admirable contribution to the field worth reading * Ben McFarland, Professor of Biochemistry, Seattle Pacific University and author of A World from Dust *
