Berrill wrote numerous books, including both works of popular science which were compared by some reviewers to books by Rachel Carson and Loren Eiseley, as well as textbooks and scientific monographs. Two of his titles, Man's Emerging Mind and Sex and the Nature of Things, won the Canadian Governor General's Award for English-language non-fiction.[5] His 1950 monograph on tunicata is the definitive work on the subject.[4]
Berrill received honorary doctorates from the universities of Windsor (1968), British Columbia (1972) and McGill (1973).[4]
Berrill was married twice and had three children, raising his first child as a single parent after his first wife died. He co-wrote two books with his son and his second wife.[4]
