O. Wilson pronounced him "one of the few scientists who could unabashedly be called a genius." In this fascinating book, Nancy G. Slack presents for the first time the full life story of this brilliant scientist who was also a master teacher, a polymath, and a delightful friend and correspondent. Based on full access to Hutchinson's archives and extensive interviews with him and many who knew him, the author evaluates his important contributions to modern ecology and his profound influence as a mentor. Filled with information available nowhere else, the book draws a vibrant portrait of an original scientific thinker who was also a man of remarkable personal appeal. 606 $aEcologists$zEngland$vBiography 606 $aEcology$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aNaturalists$zEngland$vBiography 606 $aScholars$zEngland$vBiography 606 $aScientists$zEngland$vBiography 615 0$aEcologists 615 0$aEcology$xHistory 615 0$aNaturalists 615 0$aScholars 615 0$aScientists 676 $a570.92 700 $aSlack$b Nancy G$01641413 702 $aWilson$b Edward O.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824982603321 996 $aG.
