 "Humanity desperately needs a more extensive and integrated biology - for personal and public health, support of biotechnology, resource management, conservation, and not least, a more complete and wiser understanding of our own species.  The wellspring of the new biology is scientific natural history." 

- E.O. Wilson, 2011, Foreword to Field Notes on Science and Nature, Harvard University Press.
