Discovering Life\u2019s Story: Biology\u2019s Beginnings<\/em>
\nby Joy Hakim (Author)
\n@ Amazon<\/a>* | Bookshop<\/a>*<\/em><\/p>\n

Booktalk:<\/strong> When did we start learning the scientific secrets of life? Step back to the Islamic Golden Age, when scholars ask questions about life science and medicine that will establish those fields. Chart a path through the Renaissance, as Leonardo da Vinci dissects cadavers by candlelight to learn human anatomy firsthand. In this first of four volumes spanning hundreds of years of scientific innovation and discovery, follow the evolution of life science up to the late 1800s, when a baffled Dutch biologist finds a tiny infectious particle destroying tobacco crops and gives this particle a new name: virus<\/em>. <\/p>\n

Snippet:<\/strong> This region, which will later be known as part of the Middle East, has a long tradition of supporting libraries. The best of the libraries are like universities: they attract brilliant minds. <\/p>\n

It’s STEM Friday!<\/a> (STEM<\/strong> is S<\/strong>cience, T<\/strong>echnology, E<\/strong>ngineering, and M<\/strong>athematics)<\/p>\n
