"Raymond B. Cowles"Bio:
Cowles spent just about all of his professional life at UCLA, but he was born and lived his early days in Zululand, South Africa--it is thus perhaps not surprising that he came to be a leading spokesperson for desert ecology. He is most remembered today for his scientific research on reptile thermoregulation in arid environments. In particular, the paper he co-authored in 1944 with his student C. M. Bogert stands as a major milepost in the history of desert ecology studies. His two charming books Zulu Journal and Desert Journal left a more personal touch, conveying his strong interests in teaching and popular communication, and giving some feeling for the level of his expertise as a field biologist.
