Victor B. Scheffer (1906 - 2011) was an American biologist and the author of eleven books relating to natural history.<br/><br/>His 1969 prize winning book The Year of the Whale became a popular classic of marine biology. That book, called "remarkable" by Christopher Lehmann-Haupt,[5] received wide attention and appeared on American best-seller lists. In a review in the New York Times, famed naturalist Loren Eiseley wrote that "Scheffer knows, as Melville knew, that it is an 'unwritten life' he seeks to chronicle. <br/><br/>The Year of the Whale won the 1970 John Burroughs Medal, recognizing it as the previous year's best natural history book.<br/><br/>SUPERIOR CONDITION: Bright, tight, clean copy in a quite clean dust jacket (unclipped) with slight edgewear (most evident at the head and foot of the dj's spine).
