About this product

Product Information

Ioan James profiles 38 remarkable biologists from the last 400 years. The emphasis is on their varied life-stories, not on the details of their achievements, but when read in sequence their biographies, which are organised chronologically, convey in human terms the way in which biology has developed over the years.

Reviews
'The subjects ... selected for inclusion are certainly all worthy candidates. ... In providing extensive references to full biographical treatments of his subjects, James will, hopefully, provoke his readers to delve further into the fascinating history of biology.' Journal of Natural History, "... A reader will be found in possession of a veritable sweet tooth and be rewarded by these tiny spoonfuls of history. If so, he should thank the author before diving into deeper, more glorious still waters." Oren Harman, BioScience, 'The subjects â€¦ selected for inclusion are certainly all worthy candidates. â€¦ In providing extensive references to full biographical treatments of his subjects, James will, hopefully, provoke his readers to delve further into the fascinating history of biology.' Journal of Natural History, "... an easy and enjoyable read. The intent of the book is not to detail the science, but rather give the reader some sense of who these people were, what sorts of lives they led, etc. In this regard, the author has done an admirable job." Robert E. Marra for Inoculum
