Title
Chance and Choice: My First Thirty Years,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Chance and Choice covers the first third of my life (19231952) from my childhood in a small German town to my early career as a biologist in London. While concentrating on family and friends, I have tried to convey the spirit of the times how it felt to be a Jewish girl in Hitlers Germany, an enemy alien in wartorn England, and a girl scientist in what was then a largely male field. My memoir also recalls some interesting people, the countries I have visited, and the joys and tribulations of my research. The story ends with my marriage to Peter Staple, a young English dentist and doctoral student.
