A compelling biography of a giant of Victorian science who was celebrated as Darwin’s bulldog. Thomas Huxley created a new, agnostic scientific culture and also championed modern education. As surgeon aboard the exploring ship HMS Rattlesnake, Huxley was in New Zealand in 1850 and visited the Waimate mission. His illustrious scientific career culminated with the presidency of the British Association for the Advancement of Science.
Michael Joseph, London, 1994.
