Selected Papers and Biography of Charles Henry Turner, 1867-1923
Turner discovered new species; contributed several of the early anatomical studies of crayfish and bird brains; developed new methodologies, several of which are still used; clarified several behavioral and methodological issues in tropisms, memory, and behavioral ecology; and was the first to provide experimental evidence that certain insects can hear airborne sounds. He accomplished much of his scientific work when he was a high school biology teacher, and several of the 27 papers assembled here focus on his devotion to civil rights and conviction that education was the key to equality. The biographical section includes obituaries and remembrances by family and colleagues. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
