Breaking Through: Essays, Journals, and Travelogues of Edward F. Ricketts
"To have begun to know Ed Ricketts even a little - whether as the satyr-god of Cannery Row, pioneering ecologist and marine biologist, magical Steinbeck character, co-author of a classic 'voyage of discovery,' or legendary friend and mentor of the great - is to want to know more." - From the foreword by Susan F. Beegel, editor of The Hemingway Review "This biography and collection is invaluable for those seeking to understand all about Ed Ricketts, not as Steinbeck's "Doc," but as the complex, visionary thinker and scientist that he was." - William F. Gilly, Hopkins Marine Station of Stanford University"
