Abstract

The Biographical Memoirs are recognized as definitive accounts of the life and work of the eminent scientists and engineers who were Fellows or Foreign Members of the Royal Society.

Each memoir is carefully researched and creatively written, often by a close colleague or research collaborator, and covers both the life and scientific achievements of the subject. Written by scientists for scientists, the main focus is the science and scientific endeavour, whilst also shining a light on the human side of scientific success, offering a fascinating insight into the character and personalities of the individuals involved. Readers can discover how the science was achieved within the historical context, and follow the development of specific scientific disciplines and fields of research. The memoirs provide a valuable resource for both scientists and historians of science, and an ongoing legacy of the work of the Royal Society.
