ISBN 0-333-45723-4 Sir Julian Huxley died in 1975. Although primarily a biologist, his broad social and philosophical interests ensured that he was much in the public eye for the greater part of his life. He was a motivator in the foundation of UNESCO, ensuring that ‘S’ became a major part of its remit, and he became its first Director General. He was a member of the BBC’s extremely popular Brains Trust; he was co-author (with H.G. and Gip Wells) of the seminal Science of life , and author of many ‘popular’ books and articles on scientific, social and philosophical matters.
