I’m struggling to rate this book. On the one hand, it was a wonderful mix of science, history, and memoir. On the other hand, I found it extremely problematic that she basically glorifies David Starr Jordan for 75% of the book before finally revealing his awful eugenicist ways.

I’m disliking this brash New York voice. Also it feels like it is written for readers who have very little knowledge of Palestine.
