History

From the microscopic to the universal, from the mundane to the extraordinary, Shedding Life is a delight for thoughtful readers. One of Eastern Europe s most important literary figures as well as a world-class immunologist, Holub, a Czech, is a knowledgeable, wry companion in exploring topics ranging from cloning to viruses to scientific plagiarism as well as the daily peculiarities of life in the last days of communism. He focuses on the intersection of the scientific world with everyday life, pointing out the absurd as well as the profound, whether in the analysis of the mysteries of our universe or the often surreal details of life & politics in Prague.
