In time, he would be credited with discovering nearly a <i>fifth<\/i> of the fish known to humans in his day. But the more of the hidden blueprint of life he uncovered, the harder the universe seemed to try to thwart him. His specimen collections were demolished by lightning, by fire, and eventually by the 1906 San Francisco earthquake\u2014which sent more than a thousand discoveries, housed in fragile glass jars, plummeting to the floor. In an instant, his life\u2019s work was shattered.<\/p>\n<p>Many might have given up, given in to despair. But Jordan? He surveyed the wreckage at his feet, found the first fish that he recognized, and confidently began to rebuild his collection. And this time, he introduced one clever innovation that he believed would at last protect his work against the chaos of the world.<\/p>\n<p>When NPR reporter Lulu Miller first heard this anecdote in passing, she took Jordan for a fool\u2014a cautionary tale in hubris, or denial. But as her own life slowly unraveled, she began to wonder about him. Perhaps instead he was a model for how to go on when all seemed lost. What she would unearth about his life would transform her understanding of history, morality, and the world beneath her feet.<\/p>\n<p>Part biography, part memoir, part scientific adventure, <i>Why Fish Don\u2019t Exist <\/i>is a wondrous fable about how to persevere in a world where chaos will always prevail.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>SOURCE :\u00a0 <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.simonandschuster.com\/books\/Why-Fish-Dont-Exist\/Lulu-Miller\/9781501160349\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.simonandschuster.com\/books\/Why-Fish-Dont-Exist\/Lulu-Miller\/9781501160349<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AUTHOR\u00a0 Miller, Lulu, 1983- CALL NO\u00a0 QL31.J6 M648w 2021 IMPRINT\u00a0 New York : Simon &amp; Schuster Paperbacks, 2021 [For MU Students and Staff can request here] &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8511,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[1925,1926],"class_list":["post-8563","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-book-releases","tag-ichthyologists","tag-science-writers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stang.sc.mahidol.ac.th\/newresources\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8563","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stang.sc.mahidol.ac.th\/newresources\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stang.sc.mahidol.ac.th\/newresources\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stang.sc.mahidol.ac.th\/newresources\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stang.sc.mahidol.ac.th\/newresources\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8563"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/stang.sc.mahidol.ac.th\/newresources\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8563\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8564,"href":"https:\/\/stang.sc.mahidol.ac.th\/newresources\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8563\/revisions\/8564"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stang.sc.mahidol.ac.th\/newresources\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8511"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stang.sc.mahidol.ac.th\/newresources\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8563"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stang.sc.mahidol.ac.th\/newresources\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8563"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stang.sc.mahidol.ac.th\/newresources\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8563"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
