	Sir Alister Hardy: a pioneer of ocean colour (1896 -- 1985) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Hardy noticed that replicate catches made by these nets at closely-spaced stations often gave quite different values for the local abundance of plankton, even when the replicate tows were made with the utmost care.
		Because the local abundance of phytoplankton is often the principal determinant of the colour of the ocean, Hardy became interested in the occurrence and significance of differences in the colour of water masses.
		Hardy was clearly far ahead of his time in realizing the significance of spatial differences in the kinds and abundance of plankton and in devising the means to study them.

	Sir Alister Hardy FRS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Hardy was a marine biologist born in England the East Midlands city of Nottingham in 1896.
		Unfortunately the notion that man might have evolved from a more aquatic mammal was even less popular in 1930 than it is today and, being a marine biologist with little grounding in human evolution and having set his sights on a long and successful career path he decided to keep the theory "in the dark".
		Hardy's other (probably his biggest) interest was in the area of religious and telepathic experiences.

	Article: Alister Hardy
		Alister Hardy was born on 10th February, 1896, and it is interesting to note that Charles Darwin, who was his hero in the years to come, was born on 12th February, 1809.
		At the end of his last chapter, Alister Hardy states that: I am a Unitarian, but not everyone understands what it means; I was myself one (in principle) for more than twenty years before I realised it,’ In the postscript, he adds that: In mind I am a Unitarian..
		It seemed to me, after meeting him, that Alister Hardy was very much like the people that Maslow had studied: he was a gentle, kind, unassuming and creative person, who was psychologically independent and did not hesitate to express his views, however much they might shock fellow scientists.

	Alister Hardy
		Sir Alister Hardy was a marine biologist who specialized in the study of plankton -- and don't even think of laughing; he got knighted for it.
		Hardy also brings up the "swimming babies" feature, without mentioning that this behavior was seen in all mammals tested, aquatic and terrestrial, and that this was mentioned in the same paper as the swimming babies info, and actually on the same page.
		Hardy's version of the theory turns out not to be "mild", and not to be "modest", and especially, not to be "irrefutable".

		Edwards and Richardson of the Sir Alister Hardy Foundation of Ocean Studies, substantiate their claim with compelling evidence that oceanic life has changed, extensively and rapidly, in the recent past.
		Hardy realised the importance of knowing, in detail, about planktonic life and, being a professional oceanographer, built a simple instrument to study it.
		But Hardy’s vision extended beyond the fishing industry, and beyond the vision of his colleagues, to the scientific importance of constructing a worldwide map of the abundances of the plankton species.

	Alister Hardy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Sir Alister Hardy (1896 - 1985) was an Oxford-educated marine biologist, expert on zooplankton and marine ecosystems.
		He was the zoologist on the RRS Discovery voyage to explore the Antarctic in 1901, and in his studies of zooplankton and its relationship with predators became expert in marine mammals such as whales.
		As time went on, he became interested in spiritual phenomena, working to compile a database of religious experiences and eventually founding the Alister Hardy Trust Fund, which still investigates and tracks religious experiences at the University of Wales, Lampeter.

	Morgan
		Alister Hardy's suggestion in 1960 that it might have been a much wetter one was intuitively and almost unanimously rejected.
		It is as void of political implications as the Third Law of Thermodynamics; and it seeks to explain a cluster of anomalous species-specific human physical anomalies hitherto not satisfactorily accounted for.
		As the first person after Hardy to publish anything in support of his idea, I hasten to admit that my first contribution was not of a kind likely to inspire confidence.

		It is quite conceivable, since Hardy spoke of his ideas to some of his friends and pupils in the interwar years, that speculation about it had already spread father a field than Oxford, and had crossed to the Continent without being traceable to any particular source.
		Hardy published one article and one radio lecture to clarify what he had actually said and believed.
		I did not meet Hardy or discuss the contents of my book with him – or with any of her scientist – until after it was published in 1972 under the title of The Descent of Woman.

		Hardy reports that approximately 3000 personal accounts of religious experience were sent to RERU from 1969 to 1976.
		If these “essential features” of spirituality sound too Judeo-Christian, consider not only that Hardy undertook his research in England in the 1960’s and 1970’s but also that those who offered their religious experience reports to RERU were disproportionately middle-aged and elderly (and female).
		Moreover, Hardy’s own Christian bias should be born in mind, a bias that rings loudly and clearly toward the very end of The Spiritual Nature of Man: “To return to what I was saying about an experimental faith.

		Alister Hardy, who has so significantly and so fruitfully linked biology with psychical research, was educated at Exeter College, Oxford, and was for a time one of Julian Huxley's students.
		He specialised in marine biology and explored on long voyages the ecology of sea creatures.
		No less did he emphasize the importance of dualism as opposed to monism of either sort; and of realizing that consciousness is a given, primary experience, not a by-product of the body's mechanisms.

	Marine World - Articles
		The Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) survey was set up by Sir Alister Hardy in 1931 and has since evolved into a unique marine monitoring programme that provides the scientific community with its only measure of the state of oceanic plankton for the North Sea and North Atlantic.
		The CPR survey is run by the Sir Alister Hardy Foundation for Ocean Science (SAHFOS).
		Perhaps the real legacy of Sir Alister Hardy's initial foresight in setting up the survey, is the collection of a unique, biologically diverse dataset (of approximately 400 taxa) that is capable of monitoring and detecting environmental change in a world which has become increasingly affected by man's impact.

	Australian Antarctic Division - Plankton survey uses old technology to monitor the future
		In the mid 1920s, British scientist Sir Alister Hardy developed a radically new method for sampling plankton continuously, rather than taking spot samples using conventional plankton nets.
		Hardy later designed the more compact Type II CPR and established the North Sea and North Atlantic CPR survey, which is now the longest running marine biological survey, providing detailed synoptic plankton data for more than 70 years.
		CPR units were obtained from the Sir Alister Hardy Foundation, and trialled on RSV Aurora Australis during the ship’s maiden voyage to Heard Island in July and August 1990.

		The aquatic ape theory was first put forward by Alister Hardy, research scientist and Professor of Zoology, Oxford University, back in 1960.
		Hardy suggested that many of the characteristics that make humans so very different than the apes can be accounted for if humankind passed through a semi-aquatic phase a very long time ago.
		In the works of theorist Sir Alister Hardy, award-winning writer Elaine Morgan, and in the studies of Dr. Michel Odent - world famous surgeon and pioneer into human water births - dolphins, humans and apes are likely to have evolved from a common ancestor millions of years ago.

		Furthermore, research with this motivation and faith commitment can be and has been every bit as fruitful for the advancement of scientific knowledge as research carried on by scientists who have other faith world views and motivations to guide their research.
		Sir Alister Hardy, in his little book, The Living Stream, cited above, came to see that classical evolutionary theory cannot explain much of the data of biology.
		The facts of biology support the biblical record of special creation of the original kinds of plants and animals, which were made to reproduce after their respective kinds, not to evolve into new kinds.

	Mysticism - Bibliography
		At the end of the 1960s, retired Oxford Professor of Zoology Sir Alister Hardy set up a unit in the tradition of William James to study the nature of religious experience and collected more than 5,000 accounts.
		Two of his main findings were that spiritual experience was much more common than had previously been supposed, and that the vast majority of those who had undergone these experiences were mentally healthy.
		Sir Alister Hardy set up the Religious Experience Research Unit in 1969, and this book represents the culmination of his own work in the field.
