Daniel Lewis

I'm a native of Hawaii, now living and working full-time in Southern California as the Dibner Senior Curator for the History of Science and Technology at the Huntington Library. I've had an engrossing career as a curator, archivist, teacher, and writer.

I have a Ph.D. in History from the University of California (Riverside), and have had post-doctoral appointments at Oxford University and the Smithsonian. I'm on the faculty at Caltech, where I'm a lecturer in Environmental History. My new book, in progress and under contract with Avid Reader Press (a Simon & Schuster imprint), is about twelve species of trees from around the world.
