CHARLES HENRY TURNER
Dr. Charles Henry Turner uncovered new species; contributed several of the early
anatomical studies of crayfish and bird brains; developed new methodologies (several
of which are still used today); contributed literature reviews; clarified
several behavioral and methodological issues in the areas of tropisms, memory,
and behavioral ecology; and was the first to provide experimental evidence that
certain insects can hear airborne sounds. He was also a leader in the early
struggle for civil rights where he repeatedly stressed the view that equality
can only occur through a sustained and rigorous program of education. This
volume will not only be useful to students of behavioral science, but also to
historians of psychology, zoology, entomology, and African-American history. The
volume contains biographic information and illustrations, a broad selection of
Turner’s papers, both on behavioral science and race relations, and
