Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC!

This book is a journey. I went from loving the main focus (David Starr Jordan) to hating him, the author does such a good job at building one side of his character (the most exposed side) and then flipping it on it's head.

The author connects her own internal struggle to David Starr Jordan so well, in ways you would not expect.

This book touches on a lot, from existentialism, to eugenics, to the natural world, and then finishes off with a really great concept of not believing everything presented to you.

I really enjoyed this, and usually the topics discussed would not be my first choice, but the author writes in such a cohesive, informative and sometimes funny way that made it fun from start to finish.
