    IF I AM TO BE REMEMBERED
    The Life and Work of Julian Huxley with Selected Correspondence

    by Krishua R Dronamraju (President, Foundation for Genetics Research, Texas, Houston, USA) , with a foreword by S Zuckerman
    the First Julian Huxley Memorial Lecture by J Needham

    Sir Julian Huxley was especially noted for his versatility — great biologist, first Director-General of UNESCO, Director of the London Zoo, bird watcher, skilled popular writer of science and a tireless champion of wildlife conservation. This book is a biographical account of Huxley as revealed through his own correspondence and the correspondence of his great contemporaries. An introductory biographical summary is followed by his and others' letters and a collection of some of his writings. A complete bibliography of Huxley is included. The book would be of great interest to all biologists, students of the United Nations, historians of science and nature conservationists.

    “And what a book! Dronamraju clearly has high regard and affection for Huxley, whom he met when he was a pupil and close associate of J.B.S. Haldane … an unusual but welcome feature is that about a third of the text consists of Huxley's own correspondence.”
