Robert Hooke was one of the most gifted men of his age, but it was his great misfortune to work in the sphere of two remarkable men - Isaac Newton and Christopher Wren. While they gained the recognition of a monument in Westminster Abbey, Hooke died unloved, alone and in poverty. This title recognizes the great contribution that he made.
Michael Cooper is Emeritus Professor of Engineering Surveying at City University. He joined the university in 1971 and retired in 2000. His publications include professional articles and books, and the editing of Robert Hooke's work as Surveyor to the City of London in the aftermath of the Great Fire.
