Trevor I. Williams, Howard Florey - penicillin and after . Oxford University Press, 1984. Pp. xiii + 404. £22.50. ISBN 0-19-858173-4. Soon after Florey’s death in 1978 there appeared an admirable biography by Gwyn Macfarlane ( Howard Florey - the making of a great scientist , Oxford, 1979). It gives a full account of Florey’s early life in Australia and England including the discovery and exploitation of penicillin, with shorter accounts of his later activities in relation to the creation of the Australian National University, his period as President of the Royal Society and his last post as Provost of Queen’s College, Oxford.
