This comprehensive volume completes Frederic Holmes's notable and
detailed biography of Hans Krebs, from the investigator's early
development through the major phase of his groundbreaking
investigation, which lay the foundations upon which the modern
structure of intermediary metabolism is built. With access to
Krebs's research notebooks as well as to Krebs himself through more
than five years of personal interviews, the author provides an
insightful analysis of Hans Krebs and of the scientific process as
a whole. The first volume, published in 1991, covered Krebs's
formative years in Germany, his work with Otto Warburg, and his
discovery of the urea cycle in 1932. This second volume
reconstructs the investigative pathway and the professional and
personal life of Hans Krebs, from the time of his arrival in
England in 1933 until 1937, when he made the discovery for which he
is best known-the formulation of the citric acid cycle. Holmes
portrays Krebs's activity at the intimate level of daily
interactions of thought and action, from which the characteristic
patterns of scientific creativity can best be seen. Holmes's
fascinating portrait of Krebs integrates the great scientist's
investigative pathways with his personal life. The result is an
illuminating analysis of both man and scientist that will be of
interest to biochemists and historians of science.
