This collection of essays by a group of leading authorities is
addressed primarily to a non-specialist readership, with the aim of
introducing people and achievements associated with the University
of Cambridge over the past 150 years. It explains, in simple terms,
what has been done in a wide variety of fields - including
philosophy (Ray Monk on Russell, Peter Hacker on Wittgenstein,
Robert Grant on Oakeshott); economics (Geoffrey Harcourt on
Keynes); anthropology (Ernest Gellner on Frazer); the study of
English (Stephen Heath on Richards and Leavis). Some who have made
important contributions to Cambridge science describe their own
work and discoveries - Max Perutz in molecular biology; Antony
Hewish in radioastronomy; Simon Conway Morris in palaeontology. As
a whole the book offers an intellectual portrait of many of modern
Cambridge's most notable achievements which will be of interest to
a broad range of readers within the University and far beyond.
