Anecdotes from one man's life. February 29, 2008
I was with Sid Anderson on an "Adventures in Marine Biology" tour and am cited in the text. Since the book is self published one assumes there was no professional redaction. Thus the text suffers from problems of organization and redaction, which if correctly undertaken would have made the book easier to understand and follow. The small part about me obtaining data for writing my publications is incorrect and the reference to one of my papers is totally out of context. I could have easily provided Sid with the correct information.The structure of the book is disjointed and confusing, and readers will obtain only a smattering of what the author purported to deliver. I wish Sid would have talked to his many friends, including myself, and obtained some good advice and criticism which would have made the book more intelligible. As it stands , the book delivers only a smattering of marine biology as promised by the title. The title should be something like " Memories of a families' visits to Providencia Island, Colombia". The photograph section is a terrible disappointment, since most of them are too dark to discern, again demonstrating the lack of professionalism in production of the book. The reader will also consider Sid's poetry rather quaint.
