Résumé du livre

Dr Charles joined the Department of Metallurgy, University of Cambridge, in 1960, after 13 years in industry. He retired in 1990 after wide metallurgical experience and is now University Emeritus Reader in Process Metallurgy and visiting Professor at University College, London, but retains a presence in the Cambridge Department as a Distinguished Research Associate. After forty five years of association he is well placed to review its achievements. Professor Greer graduated in the Department in 1976, and achieved a personal chair in 2001, also being made Deputy Head of the Department. He has close associations with Sidney Sussex College, where he is Vice Master. His study of the early work by Heycock and Neville in the Sidney chemistry laboratory at the end of the nineteenth century provided the foundation on which this history has been written.
