Carol Grant Gould has written for publications ranging from The New York Times to Psychology Today and Harpers. She is coauthor of three Scientific American Library books: The Honey Bee (1988), Sexual Selection (1989), and The Animal Mind (1994).
"[Gould] has written a biography worthy of Beebe. It makes
compelling and, better yet, inspiring reading for anyone interested
in the natural world."-- "Seattle Times"
"A vivid portrait."-- "The New York Times"
"Drawing on Crane's records, made available in 1989, and a host of
other sources, Gould has written an engrossing account of Beebe's
professional and personal life, effectively compressing his decades
of hyperactivity into a mere 400 pages."-- "Natural History
Magazine"
"In this delightful book Carol Gould has brought to light something
we may have forgotten: the intensive pursuit of natural history in
the early part of the twentieth century. And there is no better way
of telling the story than around the central and fascinating figure
of William Beebe."--John Tyler Bonner "author of Lives of a
Biologist"
"William Beebe was one of my boyhood heroes, who I followed through
his articles in National Geographic Magazine. Now, thanks to the
wonderful and thorough research of Carol Gould, I know the man
behind those stories."--Dr. Robert D. Ballard "discoverer of the
Titanic"
"William Beebe's life and work form a vital link between the age of
Wallace and Darwin and today's heroes of conservation. Carol
Gould's magnificent biography vividly brings Beebe to life. His
life should be an inspiration both to future conservation
biologists and to anyone who started out collecting bugs in their
own back yard."--Andrew P. Dobson "author of Conservation and
Biodiversity"
