Synopsis
Sir Fred Hoyle is one of the century's most eminent scientists, and this work offers an account of his life. Mathematician, physicist, astronomer, cosmologist - Sir Fred is perhaps best known for his brilliant explanation of the origin of the elements from hydrogen nuclei in stars, and for developing (with Sir Hermann Bondi and Thomas Gold) the elegant but controversial "Steady-State" theory of the universe. This autobiographical account tells how Fred Hoyle's childhood independence enabled him to challenge established thinking, and meet many of the great figures of the age. This book will be of interest both to those who are interested in the development of science this century as well as the general reader with an interest in autobiography.

Review
"I enjoyed reading this book immensely. Read it if you want to know how a first-class scientist actually works and how the scientific establishment should work. None of the pages are dull, and the author's inherent modesty and basic common-sense shine from them all." -- The Times Higher Education Supplement
