["John (Kay) Corner left home in 1960, aged 19. He would never see his father, E. J. H. Corner, again. Edred John Henry Corner was one of the most colourful and productive biologists and mycologists of the 20th century. His career began in 1929 as Assistant Director of the Straits Settlements Singapore Botanic Gardens, where he trained monkeys to collect specimens from the treetops of the rainforest, and published Wayside Trees of Malaya, a classic field guide interspersed with his delightful and idiosyncratic observations on plant life. He was key in the creation of Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, a 163- hectare plot that contains more tree species than the whole of North America. When war came, he considered it his responsibilty to safeguard the scientific and cultural collections of Singapore during the Japanese Occupation, but was…

Description:
Singapore: Landmark Books, 2013. First edition. Paperback. As New. 6-7-16. Since Wallace the Malay peninsula and archipelago have probably had more than their fair share of single minded, ground breaking and irascible botanists. EJH Corner fitted well into the tradition being allowed to stay in his beloved Singapore Botanical Gardens by the Japanese and being honoured by the Emperor, but managing to rehabilitate himself to be appointed Professor of Tropical Botany at Cambridge after the war. In this biography his son, who never saw his father again after leaving the parental home at 19, pieces together an extraordinary life and comes to terms with a father whom he and many of his father's colleagues barely knew. 431 pages. Please see scanned photos for a list of the chapters. Weight: 0.8.kg. * Post free within Malaysia.
