Book excerpt: 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. This volume about Professor Taylor has had a mixed ancestry. In part, it began two or three years ago as a devoted effort to honor Professor Taylor. The original thought was that some kind of festschrift would be appropriate, pulling together a number of separate and independent scientific contributions in a traditional tribute to this great man. While this idea lurked restlessly in the backs of our minds, Professor Taylor's own efforts came to our attention and resulted in the creation of an autobiographical fragment, which has become the heart of the present volume. This section had its inception in a delightful series of radio programs presented by KFKU, K.U.'s own radio station, some 43 years ago. For the most part, these programs dealt with Professor Taylor's experiences in the Philippine Islands and were directed toward young people. Professor Taylor's many friends in the Museum of Natural History (and elsewhere) have encouraged him in his autobiographical efforts - and these continue. Professor Taylor has agreed to let us publish the memoir concerning the Philippines, and we are grateful to him for the opportunity. Thus, instead of a festschrift, we have a work about Professor Taylor. Other parts of the volume concern Professor Taylor's contributions as a teacher, his publications, and a summary or appreciation of his career as a scientist. We are indebted to many for making this book possible. Obviously, without Professor Taylor's own contribution the book would have been entirely different. Many persons assisted in a wide variety of ways in the preparation of the various contributions; in addition to the authors, these include Professor and Mrs. Kraig Adler, Ms. Marlene Orr, Professor William E. Duellman, Professor Howard K. Gloyd, Mr. Joseph T. Collins, and Dr. Stephen R. Edwards. To all of these we are grateful for their devoted tribute to Ed Taylor.

Download or read book The Man Who Saved Sea Turtles written by Frederick Davis and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007-07-02 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archie Carr, one of the greatest biologists of the twentieth century, played a leading part in finding a new and critical role for natural history and systematics in a post-1950s world dominated by the glamorous science of molecular biology. With the rise of molecular biology came a growing popular awareness of species extinction. Carr championed endangered sea turtles, and his work reflects major shifts in the study of ecology and evolution. A gifted nature writer, his books on the natural history of sea turtles and their habitats in Florida, the Caribbean, and Africa entertained and educated a wide audience. Carr's conservation ethic grew from his field work as well as his friendships with the fishermen who supplied him with many of the stories he retold so engagingly. With Archie Carr as the focus, The Man Who Saved Sea Turtles explores the evolution of the naturalist tradition, biology, and conservation during the twentieth century.

Book Synopsis The Eponym Dictionary of Mammals by : Bo Beolens
Download or read book The Eponym Dictionary of Mammals written by Bo Beolens and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2009-09-28 with total page 591 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just who was the Przewalski after whom Przewalski's horse was named? Or Husson, the eponym for the rat Hydromys hussoni? Or the Geoffroy whose name is forever linked to Geoffroy's cat? This unique reference provides a brief look at the real lives behind the scientific and vernacular mammal names one encounters in field guides, textbooks, journal articles, and other scholarly works. Arranged to mirror standard dictionaries, the more than 1,300 entries included here explain the origins of over 2,000 mammal species names. Each bio-sketch lists the scientific and common-language names of all species named after the person, outlines the individual's major contributions to mammalogy and other branches of zoology, and includes brief information about his or her mammalian namesake's distribution. The two appendixes list scientific and common names for ease of reference, and, where appropriate, individual entries include mammals commonly -- but mistakenly -- believed to be named after people. The Eponym Dictionary of Mammals is a highly readable and informative guide to the people whose names are immortalized in mammal nomenclature.
