"The book is carefully organized in ten chronological chapters. ... All chapters are filled with stories about how Michael fought for his academic core beliefs. ... Michael Matthew’s life is proof that one can remain fascinated and curious about life (or one’s profession of choice) and take proud in their accomplishments and contributions to educating society for a different future, more hopeful for humankind." (Giuliano Reis, Science & Education, Vol. 34 (1), 2025)
