Description: When Thomas Henry Huxley died a century ago, he was already recognized as having effectively transformed much of the world of English science. To a significant extent we owe our respect for science and science education to his efforts to legitimize the field.

For this collection of centenary essays, Alan P. Barr commissioned four teen original pieces that assess from a contemporary perspective Huxley's personality, his marriage, his scientific accomplishments, his disputes with other thinkers of his day, his expression of values, and his importance to the history of science and education.
