Visitors to Oxford can be baffled at first by the city鈥檚 wealth of architectural
and historical features; but their appeal is not always matched by ease
of access or adequate signposting. Sophie Huxley鈥檚 booklet, The Oxford
Science Walk (Science Walk, pp 21, 拢2 from 35 Marston Atreet, Oxford
OX4 1JU), provides a welcome walking tour through the history of Oxford
science that takes in much of the architectural beauty of the university.
It is not Huxley鈥檚 fault that a plaque on the wall of a concrete shopping
centre is all that remains to commemorate the work of the 13th-century scientist
Roger Bacon. More rewarding are the treasures in the little-known Museum
of the History of Science, which include formulae chalked on a blackboard
by Albert Einstein when he lectured at Oxford in 1931, and the bedpans
and biscuit tins used by Norman Heatley to produce the first samples of
penicillin in 1939.
