Sir Julian Huxley was especially noted for his versatility - great biologist, first Director General of UNESCO, Director of the London Zoo, bird watcher, popular writer of science and a champion of wildlife conservation. This book is a biographical account of Huxley as revealed through his own correspondence and that of his contemporaries. An introductory biographical summary is followed by his and others' letters and a collection of some of his writings. A complete bibliography of Huxley is included. The book should be of interest to biologists, students of the United Nations, historians of science and nature conservationists.

Industry Reviews

"And what a book! Dronamraju clearly has high regard and affection for Huxley, whom he met when he was a pupil and close associate of J.B.S. Haldane ... an unusual but welcome feature is that about a third of the text consists of Huxley's own correspondence." Bernard Dixon Medical Science Research, 1993
