Those unfamiliar with Di­ amond's writings were likely drawn to attendance by his amaz­ ing list of credentials which in­ clude a MacArthur Foundation "Genius" Grant, The Conserva­ tion Medals of the Zoological Society of San Diego, The Carr Medal/the Tyler Prize for Envi­ ronmental Achievement, Japan's International Cosmos Prize and the USA's National Medal of Sci­ ence.
