Editorial Reviews
Review
'... absorbing and so beautifully written ... it is indeed rare to encounter a text that at one and the same time represents a major piece of scholarship and yet is notably accessible, illuminating and entertaining.' Dr B. Dixon, New Scientist
'I highly recommend this book. Knight has vividly depicted the life and times of the greatest creative scientist in Regency Britain along with the development of science and its institutions during this crucial historical period.' George B. Kauffman, Chemistry and Industry

Review
"In his exploration of Davy's life and times, Knight has vividly depicted what it was like to be a creative scientist in Regency England, and has demonstrated the development of science and its institutions during this crucial historical period." Chemical & Engineering News
