A world-acclaimed scientist who helped bridge the divide between Earth and Life sciences in a career spanning seven decades and six continents. He discovered the nature and structure of "the most resistant organic matter known". Research on modern plants, ancient rocks, meteorites and inter-stellar compounds pushed back the evidence for life to at least 3,500 million years ago, challenged many hypotheses on 'the origin of life' and brought him to the forefront of the science and faith debate. This lively account of his life and thoughts recalls the opportunities that entered his small world and reads at times like a handbook and commentary on British politics and social history. The book will attract those interested in science, travel and sport as well as general readers with an interest in a fascinating life.
