Format: Hardback
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Howard Florey is perhaps best known for his work on penicillin, but his long working life had many facets. Dr. Williams' book is largely concerned with the latter part of Florey's life, from 1942 until his death in 1968. Although relatively little has previously been published about it, this was the period in which Florey's activities were most varied. He was engaged in research in several fields; he was closely identified from its inception with the Australian National University, of which he eventually became Chancellor; he served as President of the Royal Society during a critical period in its history; and he was Provost of The Queen's College, Oxford, for the last six years of his life.
Writing from personal knowledge of his subject, the author explores Florey's elusive personality as well as his scientific and other achievements. The resulting account throws valuable light on a remarkable man as well as on the development of scientific ideas and of institutions in the twentieth century.
