A review by pennygale
Lab Girl by Hope Jahren

I loved his book. I look at trees in a whole new way. Trees can communicate with each other, take calculated risks, and make chemical changes (using information communicated from other trees) to fend off certain insects. Some plants protect their own. Some plants can resurrect. I enjoyed the scientific findings, her tales of struggling as a woman in the masculine world of university politics, her personal account of manic depressive episodes, and I fell in love with Bill, her constant companion. Now, I need to go plant a tree. Then, I need to tell someone about it:)
