Description

You are bidding on a signed "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" PB book by author Rebecca Skloot.


Henrietta Lacks was a poor Southern tobacco farmer who worked the same land as her slave ancestors, yet her cells - taken without her knowledge - became one of the most important tools in medicine. The first "immortal" human cells grown in culture, they are still alive today, though she has been dead for more than sixty years. This is a fascinating book that is autographed by the author herself, Rebecca Skloot.
