Edward O. Wilson

Naturalist is the biography of Edward O. Wilson professor of Evolutionary Biology at Harvard and a pioneer in the field of Sociobiology. His area of expertise is ants, but he is also an outspoken advocate of biodiversity. This is a narrative of his life. I find books like this fascinating. It shows how he developed his thought process as a scientist. It was also interesting to see how science has changed in the course of his lifetime. This is a very stimulating and informative read. I am adding him to the list of people I want to meet and interview some day.
