Hardcover (Original Cloth). Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. In the Foreword to Off-beat Biologist I promised, threatened might be a better word, a second volume of autobiography. In writing Off- beat, it had become obvious that one volume, even a largish one, would not accommodate all I had to say. In the end, some chapters already written, much of my background and almost all the accounts of professional and other travel were left out of Off-beat, with the intention that they should be integrated as a separate volume, Biologist a! Large. Here it is. Part I deals with the same era as Part I in Offbeat, but with the exception of Chapter 1, from another side of the fence. Part II describes how I came to burst my geographical bonds and start on my travels. Parts Ill-VI further record my visits, mostly professionally based, a few private, which took me to many parts of the world , The seventh and last Part of Biologist at Large introduces some new themes and elaborates on some old ones.

Hardcover (Original Cloth). Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. Professor Parkes writes: With complete failure at school and no more than a second class pass degree as a start, how did I get by? What, I think, saved me was an inquiring mind, an urge to work and entrepreneurial zest, But I was an innovator rather than a consolidator, and once anything I was involved with got off the ground I tended to lose interest and become fertile soil for something else. I was incredibly lucky: World War I robbed me of an education but gave my father the chance to get me to Cambridge without one. I stumbled into reproductive biology in its early days and before this went stale on me, I was stirred up by World War II and the re-birth of the NIMR at Mill Hill. Then came the freezing saga and the olfactory block to conception. Add to these contact with the FPA, the IPPF, WHO, new Societies, new Journals, my move to Cambridge, the Nuffield Unit in Uganda and finally the turtle farm in the Caribbean. There always seemed to be something new I could plunge into. Now having been around a long time, I can take a bird's eye view of a large slice of time and change; six reigns, two World Wars, carriage and pair to space craft, pen and ink to word processor and magic lantern to video. Expecting nothing more personally, I can look back with warm nostalgia on successes and failures, on good times and bad times, on my friends and my colleagues and, above all, on the fun of having lived.
