Naturalist
by Edward O. Wilson
Review this book!
As a child, Edward O. Wilson was fascinated with insects, particularly ants ("Most children have a bug period," he says. "I never grew out of mine"). He doggedly pursed this interest until he became one of the most important entomologists of our age. This captivating autobiography describes his journey from a shy and troubled childhood in which nature provided a sanctuary, to his position as professor of entomology at Harvard.
