Richard Gordon is a theoretical biologist who has led a multifaceted career, with research spanning various fields and being a professor in departments as varied as Radiology and Botany. His eclectic scientific pursuits and prolific writing have resulted in over 200 peer-reviewed publications, as well as many edited books and special issues.This is his personal memoir. It is based on a review of all his publications from Gordon's early years to the present. He recounts the collaborations, most importantly including the development of the nonlinear Algebraic Reconstruction Technique for image reconstruction, his most cited work. The ART algorithm today forms the basis of technologies that have dramatically improved progress from both basic science and in medicine such as computed tomography to 3D imaging of the sun's corona from satellites launched around the sun.
