Description
Summary:Bock discusses the life and works of Ernst Mayr. Although Mayr turned to other areas of inquiry later in his career, he trained as an ornithologist, and still is most interested in avian biology and in those who study birds. Other areas of study such as evolution, the history of biology, and the philosophy of biology may also claim Mayr as one of their own, but ornithology retains his primary alliance.
