Description:
“The author demonstrates a flair for drama and description. Using key details and well-told anecdotes, she evokes sympathy for the humor and pathos of the scientists’ lives and careers. In doing so, she succeeds in recognizing the life in what could be, in lesser hands, a dull recitation of experiments and promotions. . . . captures the excitement and human drama of aviation and space medicine.”
