We learn from everything that we do, and everything that we do becomes part of what we are. In his more than fifty-five years of teaching biology and fifty-seven years of marriage to Pat, a retired administrator for the Syracuse University Writing Program, Druger has shaped his experiences with his boundless energy, quick wit, and tireless sense of adventure.With humor and refreshing candor, Druger reflects on his many 'misadventures' in this charming memoir. He shares classroom anecdotes of his efforts to make science fun and part of his students’ everyday lives. Druger offers insights on nurturing a successful marriage, on the value of childhood friendships, and on the perils and unexpected rewards of aging. Misadventures in Life, both hilarious and heartfelt, is a unique depiction of life’s trials and bounties, one that will resonate with and inspire many readers. He served as president of the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) and of the Association for Science Teacher Education (ASTE) and twice served as president of the Society for College Science Teachers (SCST). He also served as chair and secretary of the Education Section of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). He is the recipient of the Robert Carleton Award from NSTA and the Honorary Emeritus Member Award from ASTE. He is the author of Strange Creatures and Other Poems About Life, a book of poetry for people of all ages.'Laugh out loud funny!''Marvin Druger’s new book is a zany, comical journey into the life of one of Syracuse University’s most beloved professors. Marvin’s joyous perspective on life and his cherished wife, Pat, will rivet readers to their seats. Get ready for Marvin Druger at his best-quirky, witty, and insightful.'
