Ritter initiated and shaped the Marine Biological Association of San Diego (now Scripps Institution of Oceanography of UC San Diego) and the American Society for the Dissemination of Science (now the Society for Science and the Public and Science News). Innovative and entrepreneurial, with a deep desire for human service, he worked tirelessly to educate people in science thinking. He was the first biologist to propose a theory of systems, and seems to be the originator of the term organicism for biological purposes." .

He began writing in 1966, taking two years to complete it. In 1972, after four publishers and three writers' agencies turned down the manuscript, Rex Collings agreed to publish the work. The book gained international acclaim almost immediately for reinvigorating anthropomorphic fiction with naturalism. Over the next few years Watership Down sold over a million copies worldwide.

There is a previous owner's address label on the front cover of the booklet. The text pages are clean and bright. "The use of drift bottles as a means of charting ocean currents is an old one, and their use in fisheries research is not without precedent. In the North Sea, particularly, investigations of the oceanic circulation have been carried on over a number of years by this means and have shed light on a great variety of fisheries problems. The circulation of the waters off the coast of southern California was, at the beginning of the present survey, very incompletely charted. It was felt that a more detailed knowledge of hydrographic conditions would materially assist in the interpretation of some…
