Inhaltsangabe
J. D. Bernal had a varied and fascinating life: he was an eminent crystallographer, an eloquent and prescient writer on the social implications of science, an early foe of pseudo-scientific racism, an original Marxist thinker and an indefatigable campaigner for peace and civil rights. As a leading Communist intellectual, Bernal was to be drawn into many of the central dramas of the twentieth century. While he was fÉted by the Soviet establishment and a recipient of the Lenin Prize, he was also a critic of the voluntarist notions of Stalin's agronomist, Trofim Lysenko. During the Second World War he was summoned by Winston Churchill to advise on methods to be used to land allied forces in Europe. In this symposium the different facets of Bernal's life and work are recounted and assessed by Eric Hobsbawm, Hilary and Steven Rose, Ivor Montagu, Ritchie Calder, Francis Aprahamian, Brenda Swann, Roy Johnston, Chris Freeman and Peter Mason.

hardcover. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only. Artikel-Nr.
