Opis

Travel to Sicily, ancient island conquered by the Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Normans ... and most recently the Mafia. Explore its people and culture through the eyes of a scientist who's been visiting this wonderful mixed-up melting pot of civilizations since 1984.

See it first with his young family who live there for a year learning to love and thrive in its beauty. Experience what it's like to live on this island, shop for food, go to public school, travel to its ancient ruins, see its cities, museums and cultural sites, eat in its restaurants, meet a variety of Sicilians who become family, and do first-tier science research at a national laboratory in Palermo. Lead College science students on their semesters abroad, living in the heart of Sicily doing science research, exploring the island through their eyes, and falling in love with all things Sicilian again.

Come along on a trip you won't forget."
