Trade Review
"'A comprehensive account of Boyle's life that incorporates all the latest research... Hunter meticulously investigates every scrap of evidence.' Patricia Fara, BBC History Magazine 'This definitive biography of the great 17th-century scientist... is clear and very readable.' Rev. Adam Ford, Church Times 'We'll never know enough about the day-to-day life or the inner turmoil of one of the 17th-century's finest natural philosophers, but Hunter brings us as close as we are ever likely to get.' Jonathan Wright, Catholic Herald"
