THE LIVES OF A CELL
NOTES OF A BIOLOGY WATCHER
“How to praise Dr. Thomas most accurately? One wonders. A reviewer who concentrates upon Dr, Thomas's effortless, beautifully‐toned style, even to the point of claiming that many of the 29 essays in this book are masterpieces of the “art of the essay,” would direct attention away from the sheer amount of scientific information these slender essays contain.”
