A Biologist in Paradise: Musings on Nature & Science

Více o knize

The author celebrates a love of nature and science in this collection of 40 essays and memoirs. They reveal deep curiosity about biology, including our fellow creatures, and concern for planetary and human health. Not a science book for scientists nor a nature book for naturalists, it is offered not only for information but for contemplation through story-telling seasoned with humor and quotations from favorite writers and poets. He casts off the straight-jacket of academia for the freedom of writing, and in a hopeful tone for this anxious age.
