Snippets and Summary:
"HE WAS, as many would later remember, a mysterious fellow-handsome, boyish-looking even, twenty-six years old, slight, not much more than five-foot-seven."
"Beyond the Outer Shores" Description:
The Open Library:
"In the 1930s, while the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression sent most of America into the doldrums, a lively intellectual and artistic community formed in the West, revolving around three legendary friends: Ed Ricketts, John Steinbeck, and Joseph Campbell. Steinbeck immortalized Monterey's bohemian spirit in Cannery Row, but the area's true lifeblood was his best friend and mentor, Ed Ricketts." "Today he's usually remembered as "Doc" - the beer-drinking philosopher-scientist who presides over Monterey's population of "whores, pimps, gamblers, and sons of bitches" in Canner Row - but Ricketts was actually a trailblazing ecologist who did seminal work in the emerging field on the Pacific Coast. His ideas were decades before their time, and his two books, Between Pacific Tides and Sea of Cortez (coauthored with Steinbeck), are still considered classics." "Ricketts was a lone, largely marginalized scientist - an outcast to academia with no university degrees, memberships, or honors - and his pioneering ideas were at first dismissed by the scientific establishment. Now, some sixty years after his untimely death, Ricketts' ecological approach and ethic, and especially his warnings about the excesses of modern society's material pursuit and technological mania, seem more relevant than ever."--BOOK JACKET.
