In a Patch of Fireweed: A Biologist’s Life in the Field
Bernd Heinrich
Part autobiography, part field-biology case study, this account of a scientist’s life and work is an opportunity to report not just results but the curiosity, humor, error, passion, and competitiveness that feed the process of discovery. For the reader, it is a chance to share the perceptions of a mind in tune with the inner workings of nature.
