Articles liés à The Seeds of Time: The Life of Sir Macfarlane Burnet
Synopsis
Sir Macfarlane Burnet was one of the twentieth century's most outstanding biologists. This official biography is based on exclusive interviews and free access to his diaries and letters. Through his inspiration, the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute became a leader in the fields of virology and immunology, and his own theorizing on the body's immune system earned him the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1960. The author of numerous books on science and society, genetics, cancer, and ageing, Burnet also held radical views on conservation, uranium mining, smoking, the population explosion, and mercy killing. Christopher Sexton's portrait is a frank and perceptive study of a fiercely private man.

Hardback. This is the first biography of one of Australia's most influential scientists. Sir Macfarlane Burnet, a famously reticent man, appointed Christopher Sexton as his biographer shortly before his death, and many interviews were conducted. These interviews, in combination with Burnet's diaries, letters, and other private papers, are the basis of this biography. The result is a frank, insightful portrait of a fascinating Nobel Laureate. This is a general -- not an academic or scientific -- biography, but Burnet's scientific achievements, as well as his long Directorship of the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute in Melbourne, have been captured in a style that reflects Burnet's lifelong dedication to the fundamentals of his field. Anyone interested in the world of scientific accomplishment, including general readers as well as scientists, will enjoy this account of the noted microbiologist and theoretical immunologist. 1991, First edition. A very good copy in a very good d/w. N° de réf. du vendeur 16976184
