Amazon.com description: Product Description: Lewis Thomas (Twayne's United States Authors Series, Book 547)
141 pp. "Lewis Thomas (November 25, 1913?December 3, 1993) was a physician, poet, etymologist, essayist, administrator, educator, policy advisor, and researcher...Many of his essays discuss relationships among ideas or concepts using etymology as a starting point. Others concern the cultural implications of scientific discoveries and the growing awareness of ecology. In his essay on Mahler's Ninth Symphony, Thomas addresses the anxieties produced by the development of nuclear weapons.[1] Thomas is often quoted, given his notably eclectic interests and superlative prose style."Keywords: LEWIS THOMAS LITERARY BIOGRAPHY
