Reviews

`Among all British scientists, Fred Hoyle must be one of the most promising subjects for a biography. This is [because of] the importance and originality of his research; the fact that his science covers themes that attract wide public interest; and his role as one of the outstanding publicists of science.'
'
Professor Sir Martin Rees, FRS (Institute of Astronomy, Cambridge University)
`[Jane Gregory] has a rare ability to combine a high level of historical scholarship with some very interesting ideas on the public understanding of science, all expressed in a highly readable narrative.'
Dr Andrew Warwick (History of Science, Imperial College)
`highly accessible'
Sunday Times {Culture}
`very well written. I am embarrassed by not being able to choose between these two excellent books. Luckily, they are so reasonably priced that I can happily recommend that you get both of the. Read one now and save the other for later enjoyment.'
The Times Higher
`very well written'
Times Educational Supplement
`lucid and enjoyable'
Daily Telegraph
