Dan Schneider, who has gotten a very favorable response on TMV with his in-depth guest DVD reviews, has a MUST-READ in-depth interview with Desmond Morris HERE.
Here’s the intro:
DS: I’m pleased that this latest DSI allows me the chance to dialogue with one of the most well known voices in the arts and sciences over the last half century, and a man whose science books and television shows I grew up reading and watching. He is also one of today’s leading voices of science and rationalism. His name is Desmond Morris, whose own website can be accessed here: www.desmond-morris.com. You have been a force on television and in the world of painting, but most people who know your name, know it for your best-selling and influential 1967 book The Naked Ape, which, in many ways, had the same sort of impact on the late 20th Century as did Charles Darwin’s On The Origin Of Species a century earlier. First, thank you for agreeing to be interviewed, and while I have a plethora of topics to query you on re: the above mentioned topics and others, I always allow my interviewees to introduce themselves to potential readers who have not heard of them nor their work, so could you please distill a bit of who you are, what you do, what your aims in your career have been, and your general philosophy on life, science, and the cosmos?
Read it all (and it is extensive).
