"Pour la discipline de l'histoire de l'art, aujourd'hui dominée par la tradition anglo-saxonne, le sauvetage des universitaires étrangers menacés par la montée du national-socialisme dans les années 1930 est devenu le glorieux récit des origines d'une communauté scientifique internationale soudée. Cette histoire héroïque, qui attribue l'essor de l'histoire de l'art à la contribution des intellectuels réfugiés, demande pourtant à être nuancée, car elle occulte les tensions latentes entre l'idéal d'universalisme de la science et le rôle toujours actif des particularismes nationaux dans la formulation des savoirs. Ces tensions parcourent la vie et la carrière de l'historien d'art d'origine allemande Nikolaus Pevsner (1902-1983). Pevsner, émigrant en Grande-Bretagne en 1933, a dû construire les conditions de sa propre intégration et pour cela modifier le périmètre de l'histoire de l'art d'un point de vue social, institutionnel et thématique, à travers ses écrits et une intense activité de popularisation et de défense du patrimoine artistique britannique qu'il n'a cessé d'arpenter."--Page 4 of cover.

Mary Somerville (1780-1872), after whom Somerville College Oxford was named, was the first woman scientist to win an international reputation entirely in her own right, rather than through association with a scientific brother or father. She was active in astronomy, one of the most demanding areas of science of the day, and flourished in the unique British tradition of Grand Amateurs, who paid their own way and were not affiliated with any academic institution. Mary Somerville was to science what Jane Austen was to literature and Frances Trollope to travel writing. Allan Chapman’s vivid account brings to light the story of an exceptional woman, whose achievements in a field dominated by men deserve to be very widely known.

Considered 'the father of genomics', Fred Sanger (1918-2013) paved the way for the modern revolution in our understanding of biology. His pioneering methods for sequencing proteins, RNA and, eventually, DNA earned him two Nobel Prizes. He remains one of only four scientists (and the only British scientist) ever to have achieved that distinction. In this, the first full biography of Fred Sanger to be published, Brownlee traces Sanger's life from his birth in rural Gloucestershire to his retirement in 1983 from the Medical Research Council's Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge. Along the way, he highlights the remarkable extent of Sanger's scientific achievements and provides a real portrait of the modest man behind them. Including an extensive transcript of a rare interview of Sanger by the author, this biography also considers the wider legacy of Sanger's work, including his impact on the Human Genome Project and beyond.
