Description
Excerpt from Edward H. Taylor: Recollections of an Herpetologist
The charge to anyone doing a volume like this is complex and best met by artists, not scientists. Professor E. H. Taylor is now 86 years old and has been busy for all that time. How, short of a full biography, can we recreate in our minds the sense of and feeling for this energetic, creative, sometimes irascible man who has had an extraordinary career as naturalist, explorer, teacher, friend (especially of children), scientist, Spy, consort Of royalty and father of modern herpetology? This book senses the man only fractionally and certainly less than we expect for average persons. But this is as Professor Taylor wishes it, and his full story may never be told.
