Beyond the Outer Shores: The Untold Odyssey of Ed Ricketts, the Pioneering Ecologist Who Inspired John Steinbeck and Joseph Campbell
Autor Eric Enno Tammen Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 iul 2005
In
the
1930s,
while
the
Dust
Bowl
and
the
Great
Depression
sent
most
of
America
into
the
doldrums,
a
lively
intellectual
and
artistic
community
formed
in
the
West,
revolving
around
three
legendary
friends:
Ed
Ricketts,
John
Steinbeck,
and
Joseph
Campbell.
Steinbeck
immortalized
Monterey's
bohemian
spirit
in
Cannery
Row,
but
the
area's
true
lifeblood
was
his
best
friend
and
mentor,
Ed
Ricketts.
Today
Ed
Ricketts
is
usually
remembered
as
"Doc"—the
beer-drinking
philosopher-scientist
who
presided
over
Monterey's
population
of
"whores,
pimps,
gamblers,
and
sons
of
bitches"
in
Cannery
Row—but
Ricketts
was
actually
a
trailblazing
ecologist
who
did
seminal
work
in
the
emerging
field
on
the
Pacific
Coast.
His
ideas
were
decades
before
their
time,
and
his
two
books,
Between
Pacific
Tides
and
Sea
of
Cortez
(coauthored
with
Steinbeck),
are
still
considered
classics.
Now,
some
sixty
years
after
his
untimely
death,
Ricketts'
ecological
approach
and
ethic
seem
more
relevant
than
ever.
