	William Jackson Hooker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		His father, Joseph Hooker of Exeter, a member of the same family as the celebrated theologian Richard Hooker, devoted much of his time to the study of German literature and the cultivation of curious plants.
		The son was educated at the high school of Norwich, on leaving which his independent means enabled him to travel and to take up as a recreation the study of natural history, especially ornithology and entomology.
		It was mainly by Hooker's exertions that botanists were appointed to the government expeditions.

	Biographical information (Part 3)
		Hooker explained the distributional puzzles of the southern ocean by hypothesising that a much larger Antarctic continent had once linked many of the now-isolated lands.
		Darwin disagreed with Hooker and Forbes, baulking at the lack of evidence for the missing land, and proposed instead that anomalous distributions were better explained by seeds having migrated with the aid of bird and animals, or wind and ocean currents.
		He particularly urged them not to cross the northern border with Tibet during their explorations, but Hooker and Campbell knowingly ignored his order and the border violation was used by the Dewan as a pretext to arrest and imprison them in November 1849.

		Hooker's reputation remained strong even in England and in the summer of 162 letters arrived at Boston invit-ing Thomas Hooker, John Davenport, and John Cotton to represent New England at the Westminster Assembly of Divines.
		Hooker declined to attend although he apparently tried to have an influence on the assembly by the publication of two books and a catechism in London in 165.

	TrouserPress.com :: William Hooker
		Hooker plays with enough power to steer combos suffused with post-punk guitar scree, while maintaining a terpsichorean grace (reminiscent of Rashied Ali, a John Coltrane sideman who has had ephemeral involvement with the avant-rock scene as well) that effortlessly demonstrates the limits of most "rock" percussion.
		Hooker's rolling, imperceptibly shifting patterns — crafted almost exclusively on floor toms and bass drum, a tactic which adds considerable loam to spirit-world forays like "Others (Unknowing)" — betray little cognizance of the presence of pianist Mark Hennen and Alan Braufman, whose unfettered flute work nevertheless makes its mark.
		The live Subconscious lets Hooker exhibit his range as a bandleader — no mean feat for a guy who's "just" a drummer —; as he guides a copacetic sextet through the terrain's intricate rhythmic paths, quietly asserting himself without once overplaying.

		Sgt. TJ Hooker had been a detective, but gave up his gold shield and civilian clothing for a uniformed street patrol because that's where he thought he was needed.
		Hooker stood for traditional values, despite his own disappointments - a marriage that had ended in divorce (though he was still on good terms with his ex-wife, Fran) and a partner that was killed in the line of duty.

	William Hooker, Christian Marclay, Lee Renaldo - Bouquet (Knitting Factory)
		The physical particulars is that it is Hooker on the traps, Marclay on the wheels of steel, and Renaldo, of course, on the six string and "small devices" (your guess is as good as mine), playing an improv set at the Knitting Factory, NYC, the day after Renaldo's wedding.
		Hooker's drumming is jazzy but relentless, laying a constant, frenetic backline, while Renaldo and Marclay conspire in a dark pastiche of melody, noise, and skronk, frequently all at once.
		As if Hooker and Renaldo's avant garde fuckery were not weird enough, tossing an equally challenging turntable mix into the pot pushes this record into the realm of the previously unheard.

		Banks sponsored Hooker in an expedition to Iceland, all expenses paid, and even offered the young man his own largely unpublished notes from his own expedition in 1722, as almost all of Hooker's collections and notes had been destroyed in a shipboard fire from which he had barely escaped with his life.
		Over the years Hooker was able to use his considerable charm and tact to expand the garden by acquiring many of the surrounding royal grounds, as well as initiate the construction of several glasshouses, including the famous Palm House, and organize the garden's beds in a more logical and scientific manner.

		The speed and power that Hooker applies in his playing frees up the other musicians to explore their own work without worrying about the state of the rhythm.

		Hooker and Olive make their final statements, and both play it relatively softly, making for a cool, relaxing ending to the experience.

		Born at Norwich in 1785, Sir William Jackson Hooker showed an early interest in botany and in 1809, through the encouragement of Sir Joseph Banks, made an expedition to Iceland.
		Sir William had long felt that the Royal Gardens at Kew, which had fallen into neglect after Banks’s death, had the potential to become the centre of botanical science for Great Britain and its empire.
		Hooker’s extensive foreign correspondence and his excellent relationships with institutions such as the Foreign and Colonial Offices, the Admiralty and the East India Company established Kew’s position at the forefront of science.

		William Hooker began playing music in a high school rock band, but quickly gravitated to jazz.
		Although Hooker's first album featured the playing of jazz saxophonists David Murray and David S. Ware, his subsequent work has veered away from avant-garde jazz and into a gray area where rock, noise, and jazz are just fuel for Hooker's drive to create the ultimate in energy music.
		Hooker understands that pressure is best felt when it's varied, so he periodically lightens the load by having one or more lay out from time to time.

		William Shatner, Heather Locklear, and James Darren remained in the cast for the 19 new CBS episodes, but Adrian Zmed had left the series during a salary dispute.
		The five-episode "trial run" of T.J. Hooker begins with the 90-minute pilot "The Protectors," in which former police detective T.J. Hooker (William Shatner) voluntarily accepts the lowered rank of sergeant to return to active duty -- and even campaigns to work in the city's toughest and most crime-ridden districts.
		Given that Hooker is tormented by the death of his former partner, his recent divorce from wife Fran (Lee Bryant), and his ever-mounting debts, it's just possible that Hooker regards his work as "therapy," taking on big troubles to forget his bigger troubles.
