"No child's home seems strange to him. Yet mine was much stranger than I knew." - John Staddon 📚
John Staddon's THE ENGLISHMAN is a rich autobiographical memoir recounting one academic's remarkable life journey. An intelligent, lively narrative full of sharp wit and clever anecdotes—and peppered through with photographs, figures, and handwritten notes—Staddon's shared life experience reveals the intellectual development framing his studies in behavioral neuroscience.
While reading personal and professional experiences such as Staddon's adolescence in wartime London, a two-year academic leave in colonial Africa, and the intensive studies that landed him at Harvard University, you'll feel as if you're in the room with Staddon as he shares this fascinating tale.
