Around the middle of the eighteenth century, a group of English gentlemen headed by the Earl of Derby became interested in historical and geographical exploration. They commissioned one of their number to go to China in search of information not generally known in England at that time. This man, who must have been a fine scholar, linguist, and scientist, became accepted in high Chinese society, and he reported his findings weekly to his sponsors back home. He also addressed some additional personal letters to the Earl of Derby himself. Unto Thee I Grant the Economy of Life is a collection of the writings and information communicated to the Earl of Derby.

As a pediatrician, writer, wife, and mother, Perri Klass has demonstrated how medicine is integral to the health of families and communities, and how doctors themselves struggle to balance the conflicting needs of profession, self, and family. As medical director of Reach Out and Read, she encourages other pediatricians to foster pre-reading skills in their young patients. While earning her M.D. at Harvard, Klass contributed articles to "Mademoiselle" and "The New York Times" as well as to scientific and medical journals. She also wrote her first book, "A Not Entirely Benign Procedure "(1987), which chronicles her introduction to medicine and motherhood. In the following years she has continued to publish books, essays, award-winning short stories, a novel, and numerous articles, ranging from professional papers to popular journalism and travel pieces.
