Letters to a Young Scientist - Edward O. Wilson (paperback)
No beating around the bush: We idolize E.O. Wilson. He was one of the foremost scientists and conservation activists of the 20th century, an excellent communicator, ant-enthusiast, and an endearingly enthusiastic lifelong learner. His recent passing was difficult– kind of like losing the Mr. Rogers of science? Except Wilson is not gone in the fullest sense– so long as his written works and the wildlife he strove to protect persist, he lives on. Over the course of his career, Wilson published over two dozen titles, ranging from advanced social theory to treatise on the minutiae of the natural world. The most approachable of his books is “Letters to a Young Scientist.” Written after half a century as a scientist and teacher, Wilson distilled his knowledge and experience into a series of letters full of insight and encouragement to young people embarking on this path. Wilson promotes curiosity, observation, experimentation, and problem solving, emphasizing the critical importance of maintaining a robust scientific community. While this book is the perfect gift for a person of high school or college age, Nature appropriately states: “Wilson provides exactly the right mentoring for scientists of all disciplines– and all ages.” It is sure to leave a lasting impression on any reader.
