Edward O. Wilson has distilled sixty years of teaching into a book
for students, young and old. Reflecting on his coming-of-age in the
South as a Boy Scout and a lover of ants and butterflies, Wilson
threads these twenty-one letters, each richly illustrated, with
autobiographical anecdotes that illuminate his career both his
successes and his failures and his motivations for becoming a
biologist. At a time in human history when our survival is more
than ever linked to our understanding of science, Wilson insists
that success in the sciences does not depend on mathematical skill,
but rather a passion for finding a problem and solving it. From the
collapse of stars to the exploration of rain forests and the oceans
depths, Wilson instills a love of the innate creativity of science
and a respect for the human being s modest place in the planet s
ecosystem in his readers."
