The Loom of Language
None
Lancelot Hogben, Scientific Humanist
Hogben escaped from a background of religious bigotry by the academic ladder and gained a major scholarship at Cambridge and graduated in 1916. During a noteworthy academic career, he found time to be active in the Fabian Society and in the London Labour Party. He also founded the Journal of Experimental Biology along with Julian Huxley and J.B.S. Haldane. He is most widely known for Mathematics for the Million and Science for the Citizen, and he played a big part in creating The Loom of Language.

Mathematics for the Million
"It makes alive the contents of the elements of mathematics."-Albert Einstein
Perspectives on Genetics
For more than ten years, the distinguished geneticists James F. Crow and William F. Dove have edited the popular "Perspectives" column in Genetics, the journal of the Genetics Society of America. This book, Perspectives on Genetics, collects more than 100 of these essays, which cumulatively are a history of modern genetics research and its continuing evolution.
For the Recorde
For the Recorde is accessible to a wide audience, and readers will find themselves smiling as they read, sometimes shedding a tear, and occasionally scratching their head. It shows that maths is developed by real people having a range of emotions, just like everybody else. The book is illustrated throughout with photographs of the mathematicians and the places in Wales which they’re linked with, and also contains some mathematical symbols, patterns and puzzles.
Learned Lives in England, 1900-1950
If objectivity was the great discovery of the nineteenth century, uncertainty was the great discovery of the twentieth century.
Count Us In
Main message is that maths is something to enjoy, not something to fear, encouraging the release of deeply rooted maths-linked anxieties. Emphasises that maths is something to be understood, not something to be repeated poly-parrot-fashion, therefore change of perspective that benefits individuals, their children and their grandchildren. Maths is something for all, recognises maths as a natural part of culture.
