Somerville 140 is a celebration of the college's foundation 140 years ago. It tells the stories of some of the extraordinary individuals who have been part of Somerville (including two prime ministers, a Nobel Prize-winning scientist and over seventy published authors). A catalogue of the rare, the everyday and the just plain curious, this beautifully illustrated work includes everything from sculpture to teapots and books to bicycle racks.Contents:ForewordA Rare and Valuable ThingA Brief History of Somerville1780-1872: In Memory of the Late Mary Somerville1879-1906: The Life of an English Family1907-1945: Our Entry Within the Charmed Circle1945-1989: Always Have Your Plans on the Drawing Board1989-2019: A Place of Radical ChangeAfterwordAcknowledgementsIndex","brand":"Scala","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45999433056511,"sku":"9781785512254","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781785512254_s600x595.jpg?v=1782145600","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781785512254","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
