Ricketts (1897-1948) has reached legendary status in the California mythos. A true polymath and a thinker ahead of his time, Ricketts was a scientist who worked in passionate collaboration with many of his friends-artists, writers, and influential intellectual figures-including, perhaps most famously, John Steinbeck, who once said that Ricketts's mind "had no horizons." This unprecedented collection, featuring previously unpublished pieces as well as others available for the first time in their original form, reflects the wide scope of Ricketts's scientific, philosophical, and literary interests during the years he lived and worked on Cannery Row in Monterey, California. These writings, which together illuminate the evolution of Ricketts's unique, holistic approach to science, include "Verbatim transcription of notes on the Gulf of California trip," the basic manuscript for Steinbeck's and Ricketts's Log from the Sea of Cortez; the essays "The Philosophy of Breaking Through" and "A Spiritual Morphology of Poetry;" several shorter pieces on topics including collecting invertebrates and the impact of modernization on Mexican village life; and more. An engaging critical biography and a number of rare photographs offer a new and richly detailed view of Ricketts's life. 606 $aMarine invertebrates$zPacific Coast (U.S.) 606 $aMarine invertebrates$zMexico$zCalifornia, Gulf of 606 $aTeleology 607 $aPacific Coast (U.S.)$xDescription and travel 607 $aCalifornia, Gulf of (Mexico)$xDescription and travel 610 $aa spiritual morphology of poetry. 610 $abiography. 610 $acalifornia. 610 $acannery row. 610 $aconservation. 610 $aearth sciences. 610 $aecology. 610 $aedward ricketts. 610 $aenvironment. 610 $aenvironmentalism. 610 $agulf of california. 610 $ainvertebrates. 610 $alog from the sea of cortez. 610 $amarine biology. 610 $amexican village. 610 $amexico. 610 $amonterey. 610 $anatural history. 610 $anatural world. 610 $anaturalism. 610 $anaturalist. 610 $anature. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $aoceanography. 610 $ascience. 610 $asteinbeck. 610 $athe philosophy of breaking through. 610 $atravel writing. 610 $atravel. 610 $atravelogue. 610 $avillage. 610 $awildlife. 615 0$aMarine invertebrates 615 0$aMarine invertebrates 615 0$aTeleology. 676 $a578.77/092 700 $aRicketts$b Edward Flanders$f1897-1948.$01577536 701 $aRodger$b Katharine A$g(Katharine Anne),$f1974-$01577537 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783669203321 996 $aBreaking through$93860644 997 $aUNINA
