Fred Hoyle's Universe
Gregory, Jane (, Lecturer in Science Communication and Science Policy, University College London)
Fred Hoyle was a down-to-earth, argumentative Yorkshireman who became the voice of British astronomy. He devised the steady-state theory of the universe and worked out how the elements are formed in the nuclei of stars. This book tells the story of one of the twentieth century's most distinguished and controversial scientists.
