Zafra Lerman, a precocious child from Israel, developed a strong sense of values that guided her life's work in science diplomacy. She created a unique curriculum that used art, music, dance, and drama to teach science to underprivileged students worldwide. Her journey took her across the globe, from the Soviet Union to Peru, China to Cuba, and beyond, where she championed the rights of dissidents denied basic human rights. After the September 11 attacks, Prof. Lerman conceived, coordinated, and launched the Malta Conferences, a biennial international gathering of scientists, Nobel laureates, and political leaders from the Middle East. The book is a genre-busting first-person narrative that recounts Prof. Lerman's remarkable life and her impact on the world. It highlights the innovative use of science as diplomacy in the fight for human rights and peace and serves as an inspiration to educators, scientists, policymakers, and the general public. There is no competing work that compares to its impact.
