At the age of 27, Whitney Dafoe was forced to give up his life as a photographer who traveled the world. Bit by bit a mysterious illness stole away the pieces of his life: First, it took the strength of his legs, then his voice, and his ability to eat. The Puzzle Solver follows several years in which he desperately sought answers. Whitney's father, Ron Davis, PhD, a world-class geneticist at Stanford University whose legendary research helped crack the code of DNA, suddenly changed the course of his career in a race against time to cure his son's debilitating condition.

Special memories for me about Whitney and Ron.
Revisado: 11-04-21
This book had special memories for me because I worked for Ron Davis in the late 80s. He hired me to assist him in his lab and later I became the lab manager for the Biochemistry Department at Stanford University. I first met Whitney at the Davis home when he was just 3 years old. The book captures the love Ron has for his family and his devotion to Science.

This course examines the life of Benjamin Franklin and his influence on both American and world history. He remains the model of the American thinker - a man who was interested in nearly everything, and who pursued those interests with an admirable and contagious passion. To study Franklin's life is to learn not only the history of a single man, but to understand some of the most monumental changes in all of human history.
