Beschreibung:
Karl Drlica is a molecular biologist who has written three science books for the general public, most notably Understanding DNA and Gene Cloning: A Guide for the Curious. He has been named an Alumni Fellow at Oregon State University where he learned to row. He also coached a women's crew at the University of California. He now sculls as a member of the Berkeley Paddling and Rowing Club. The richness of an archive he inherited compelled him to write Bitten by the Rowing Bug. He and his wife, Ilene Wagner, who also rowed, live in Northern California; they have two adult sons.
Bitten by the Rowing Bug is about rowing fragile wooden racing shells on an untamed Oregon river in a rowing program that taught self-reliance to college students during the mid-twentieth century. It is also about a legally blind jack-of-all-trades who drove that program forward for more than thirty years.
