Review Quotes:
"Lyrical, erudite, and quietly revelatory, To Life is the kind of book that rearranges one's sense of where wonder, scholarship, and spiritual inquiry meet. Through vivid, deeply researched portraits, it illuminates a largely forgotten chapter of scientists and seekers whose work forever changed how we understand the living world."
--Diane Ackerman "author of The Zookeeper's Wife"
