Meredith F. Small

As an anthropologist who writes for the popular press, I am engaged by creative nonfiction. Many of my own books covered the intersection of biology and culture, and my latest "Inventing the World" is a pivot to the impact of various inventions in Venice over its 1,000 year history.
