Review Quotes:
"A magnificent work of natural history in its truest sense. It reveals flora, fauna, landscapes, and the Jewish relationship to them with deep wisdom and wit. Here you'll find everything from the snark of Fran Lebowitz to the courage of, my favorite, mosquito expert Andrew Spielman. Greenberg manages to do it all with both style and rigor. Vivid, warm, and authoritative, To Life is a celebration you should join."
