Rövid leírás:
Schonland: Scientist and Soldier is a biography of Sir Basil Schonland FRS (1896-1972). Schonland was a major contributor to twentieth-century British and Commonwealth science, both in peace and war. This is not just a scientific biography, but a biography that tells much of a highly placed scientist and administrator, of the increasing engagement between science and the military, and of changing military-diplomatic relationships between Britain and South Africa. The author has drawn on a profusion of primary and secondary source material, from both South African and British archives, to produce a fine biography that is very readable and interesting.

"Austin develops the multi-faceted tale of his achievements in vivid detail ?The text is well referenced and sources include records of interviews with the Schonland family, former colleagues, and students, who themselves played important parts in the story. The book also provides unique insight into the Cavendish at the zenith of the 'old' (Bohr-Sommerfield) quantum theory ? this historical biography is a fine tribute to a legendary and inspiring figure in South African Science. It may also serve to inform the reader of different aspects of a country, long under its own thundercloud, and eschewed, even in scientific circles, like the lepers of old, yet, as Thomas Hardy wrote of Egdon Heath, 'perfectly accordant with man's nature, but like man, slighted and enduring.'"
-John D. Hey, Nature, April 2002
"Valuable to anyone researching the early days of atomic research in Britain."
-C.G. Wood, CHOICE
"? the book is thorough in telling us about Schonland and his work and about the background to it in challenging circumstances in both Britain and South Africa."
-Sebastian Pease, Physics World
"Austin's book offers a broad and detailed panorama of Basil Schonland's numerous occupations-scientist, inventor, experimenter, soldier, educator, researcher, administrator."
-IEEE
