On Becoming a Biologist
- Used Book in Good Condition
â€œWe share a common bond with even the most bizarre beetle of the Peruvian rain forest,â€ asserts John Janovy Jr. â€œA belief in that common bond might, in fact, be the most fundamental characteristic of a biologist.â€ And biologists see the worth of a plant or an animal not in monetary terms but in its contribution to our understanding of life. The famous naturalist brings a humanistâ€™s vision to this superbly written book.
On Becoming a Biologist is grounded in reality, cognizant of practical matters (education and jobs) as well as the ideals that inform the professionâ€”a reverence for life and a responsibility to humankind and its future. Janovy draws on his experiences as a graduate and postdoctoral student, on his rewarding relationships with teachers, and on his fieldwork as a naturalist. This edition includes new information throughout the book regarding pertinent events, issues, and changes in technology.
