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.
