d. 1953
A lively early 20th-century science writer, he explored big questions about cells, heredity, and evolution at a time when modern genetics was still taking shape. His books bring together laboratory thinking, broad biological curiosity, and a clear desire to explain new ideas to general readers.

About the author
Charles Edward Walker was a British scientific writer associated with early research and teaching in biology and cytology. A 1907 edition of The Essentials of Cytology identifies him as assistant director of cancer research in Liverpool, honorary lecturer in cytology at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, and formerly a demonstrator of zoology at the Royal College of Science in London.
His known works include The Essentials of Cytology, Hereditary Characters and Their Modes of Transmission, and Evolution and Heredity: Theories and Problems. Together, these books show a writer deeply engaged with the scientific debates of his day, especially how living cells work and how inherited traits are passed on.
Library and collection records also connect him with the dates 1871 to 1953. While clear biographical details beyond his scientific appointments are limited in the sources I found, his books suggest a careful, explanatory style aimed at readers who wanted to follow the fast-changing biological ideas of the early 1900s.
