Lab Girl


Book Description

Lab Girl is a book about work and about love, and the mountains that can be moved when those two things come together. It is told through Jahren's remarkable stories: about the discoveries she has made in her lab, as well as her struggle to get there; about her childhood playing in her father's laboratory; about how lab work became a sanctuary for both her heart and her hands; about Bill, the brilliant, wounded man who became her loyal colleague and best friend; about their field trips - sometimes authorised, sometimes very much not - that took them from the Midwest across the USA, to Norway and to Ireland, from the pale skies of North Pole to tropical Hawaii; and about her constant striving to do and be her best, and her unswerving dedication to her life's work. Visceral, intimate, gloriously candid and sometimes extremely funny, Jahren's descriptions of her work, her intense relationship with the plants, seeds and soil she studies, and her insights on nature enliven every page of this thrilling book. In Lab Girl, we see anew the complicated power of the natural world, and the power that can come from facing with bravery and conviction the challenge of discovering who you are.

84 Paws


Book Description

At 84 years of age, Barbara Travis Osgood decided to publish a book. Through this autobiographical collection of short stories, she shares funny, sad, and always intimate moments from a life with senior Labrador Retrievers.84 Paws is more than a story about rescuing twenty-one elderly labs. It is the story about a woman with bipolar disorder, who, against all odds, saved herself. As it chronicles her enormous successes and her heart-wrenching plunges into darkness, it introduces readers to a cast of funny, furry, feisty senior labs who have occupied Barbara's home and heart, showing how she turned her love of labs into the best of all possible therapies.A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will go to Lab Rescue LRCP, for the rescue and care of senior labs.What readers are saying: "Osgood combines our own human challenges in life with the struggles of rescued senior labs. Her own amazing life story, coupled with her imagery of each 'Old Lab' paints a beautiful picture of each personality. Any animal lover would enjoy reading this book." - Crystal Taylor, DVM"What a touching and wonderful book. As a long-standing volunteer with Lab Rescue LRCP, the stories of Barbara's book go straight to my heart. The love and raw emotion that helped create 84 Paws explains so well how the founders and volunteers of Lab Rescue LRCP feel about the dogs we take in and then adopt to loving homes. The young and the old: all are deserving of love and a second chance." - Jen Norris
