Brief biography based on limited documentation—so probably the definitive one!
This is a well-researched, albeit brief, biography. I would be surprised if anyone ever tries to write another, as the historical material seems rather scant (we Darwin groupies are rather spoilt in that respect).
I'd have liked to have seen more discussion about the historical significance of White's magnum (and indeed only) opus, but, other than that, a damn fine read.

“…wonderfully droll, witty and entertaining… At their best Carter’s moorland walks and his meandering intellectual talk are part of a single, deeply coherent enterprise: a restless inquiry into the meaning of place and the nature of self.”
