Book Description
The architectural drawings of Magdalen College, Oxford number some thousand items and make up a collection unparalleled at any other Oxford or Cambridge college. They span three centuries, from the early eighteenth century to the present day, and contain many beautiful contributions from someof the great names of English architecture including Nicholas Hawksmoor, James Wyatt, John Nash, Humphry Repton, A. W. N. Pugin, and leading members of the Scott dynasty. This is the first comprehensive catalogue of the collection, lavishly illustrated in both colour and black and white. It isprefaced by a detailed introductory essay by Roger White which sets the drawings in their context, and provides an overview of the architectural evolution of this most famously picturesque of Oxford colleges. The catalogue has been compiled with the assistance of Robin Darwall-Smith, Archivist,Magdalen College.

Book Description
Physics in Oxford, 1839-1939 offers a challenging new interpretation of pre-war physics at the University of Oxford, which was far more dynamic than most historians and physicists have been prepared to believe. It explains, on the one hand, how attempts to develop the University's Clarendon Laboratory by Robert Clifton, Professor of Experimental Philosophy from 1865 to 1915, were thwarted by academic politics and funding problems, and latterly by Clifton's idiosyncraticconcern with precision instrumentation. Conversely, by examining in detail the work of college fellows and their laboratories, the book reconstructs the decentralized environment that allowed physics to enter on a period of conspicuous vigour in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, especially atthe characteristically Oxonian intersections between physics, physical chemistry, mechanics, and mathematics. Whereas histories of Cambridge physics have tended to focus on the self-sustaining culture of the Cavendish Laboratory, it was Oxford's college-trained physicists who enabled the discipline to flourish in due course in university as well as college facilities, notably under the newly appointed professors, J. S. E. Townsend from 1900 and F. A. Lindemann from 1919. This broaderperspective allows us to understand better the vitality with which physicists in Oxford responded to the demands of wartime research on radar and techniques relevant to atomic weapons and laid the foundations for the dramatic post-war expansion in teaching and research that has endowed Oxford with one of thelargest and most dynamic schools of physics in the world.
