  Abstract:  The book under review chronicles the life, work and achievements of a distinguished professor from the “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iaşi, geologist Bica Ionesi. We received the book from the author with great enthusiasm, as it would allow us to improve our knowledge of Moldavia - the Romanian region between the rivers Siret and Prut - and its inhabitants, a region that we have seen little of, with the exception of its northern part and the city of Iaşi, home to the first Romanian university (1860), where we have many friends who are geologists, geographers or biologists. An intellectual with a rural background, we have always had a keen interest in the written word, particularly historiographical and biographical-autobiographical works. The latter provide an authentic window into the lives of individuals, marked by the changes one undergoes, as well as by the specificity of one’s birthplace and of the places where one’s path leads. Dr. Bica Ionesi’s book has indeed offered such insight, proving illustrative in its description of the author’s birthplace and partially of the numerous regions of Romania that she has studied from a geological point of view.
