	Ricketts Biography
		Edward Flanders Robb Ricketts was born on May 14, 1897 on the northwest side of Chicago.
		The Ricketts we see through Steinbeck's eyes, the solitary bachelor, "concupiscent as a rabbit," who spent most of his time interacting with the fringe of conventional society, contrasts with the serious, hard-working scientist who spent most of his energies searching for his ultimate goal, the truth.
		After the breakup of Ricketts' marriage in the mid 1930s, he lived at the lab with Toni Jackson, who was his companion from 1941 to 1947.

	Ecology Hall of Fame: Ricketts
		Ed Ricketts, marine biologist, would never earn a college degree, but he was deeply influenced by one of his professors, Dr. Warder Clyde Allee (1885-1955), one of America's first ecologists.
		It would be this textbook that would make Ed Ricketts' influence on the next generation of marine biologists and many thousands of ordinary people who wanted to know a litte (or a lot) about the fascinating organisms living along the California coast.
		The work of Ed Ricketts has inspired several generations of marine biologists, especially with his work on the effect of wave shock on marine animals and plants.

	An Analysis of the Concept of Breaking Through (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Sometime between 1939 and 1940, Ed Ricketts wrote an essay regarding "a personal interpretation of some modem tendencies", which most clearly defined and named a transcendent concept, age old in philosophical origin, that became one of the underpinnings of the works of John Steinbeck and the writings and lectures of Joseph Campbell.
		Ricketts called this concept, "The Philosophy of Breaking Through." Breaking Through is by no means a new creation, but he articulated what other philosophers, artists, and even religions only described in a circumspect manner or alluded to.
		Ricketts is arguing that the death of a loved one may be the stimulus needed to motivate a "break through" in thought to an entirely greater understanding of the death, or death in general.

	Beyond the Outer Shores: The Untold Odyssey of Ed Ricketts, the Pioneering Ecologist Who Inspired John Steinbeck and ...
		Ricketts was no insider in his industry: he was an academic outcast who was at once a beach bum, a philanderer, and an ecologist whose early warnings about over-fishing in California and Alaska fell on deaf ears in the 1930s.
		Ricketts, one the greatest naturalists of all time, was astounded at the array of creatures, mostly animals he found along the shore.
		Like Ricketts argument regarding individual creature influence on the tide pool, the primary influence on Steinbeck and Ricketts was the "Row" as the meeting place, a considerably more complex human tide pool.

		Ricketts was "a lone, largely marginalized scientist" with no university degrees, and he had to struggle long and hard against the "dry ball" traditionalists of the time just to get the book published.
		Ricketts was likewise a muse to the mythologist Joseph Campbell, who not only attended parties at the lab but for a time was Ricketts's next-door neighbor and joined him in 1932 on an extended collecting trip along western Canada's Inner Passage.
		The week before Ricketts was to leave on the expedition, tragedy intervened: As he was driving to get dinner after a long day in the lab, an evening train, the Del Monte Express, rolled through a blind crossing and collided with his car.

	John Steinbeck & Ed Ricketts
		One might conclude that John Steinbeck was obsessed with Ricketts, loved Ed Ricketts as a friend, and cared passionately for Ricketts.
		In it, Ricketts noted that "the chief character in John's script is the Indian boy who becomes so imbued with the spirit of modern medical progress that he leaves the traditional way of his people to associate himself with the new thing."
		And the Ed Ricketts characters in Steinbeck's fiction (they are several and are usually named "Doc") are those who are somehow cut off.
