Description

A bicentennial celebration of brilliant thinkers from The University of Manchester's history.

The year 2024 marks two centuries since the establishment of The University of Manchester in its earliest form. The first of England’s civic universities, Manchester has been home and host to a huge number of influential thinkers and generated world-changing ideas.

This book presents a rich account of the remarkable contribution that people associated with The University of Manchester have made to human knowledge. A who’s who of Manchester greats, it presents fascinating snapshots of pioneering artists, scholars and scientists, from the poet and activist Eva Gore-Booth to the economist Arthur Lewis, the computer scientist Alan Turing and the physicist Brian Cox.
