The World Expands: Recollections of a Zoologist
George Howard Parker
Students and colleagues of George Howard Parker will find this book a confirmation of something long suspected, and other readers will make a pleasant discovery. The mind which evolved the complicated theory that chemical activation transmits messages from nerve-endings to the peripheral organs is a mind of indescribable gentleness and wit. In an unhurried fashion Parker conducts the reader on a tour of memories. Teacher, lecturer, author, explorer—he might review the record of his contributions to science with pride and contentment, but these are the unassuming recollections of a generous, delightful, and modest human being who will allow his stature to be revealed only by inference.
