Biographical notes:

Jacob Bronowski, a mathematician by training, was well known for his work in literature, intellectual history and the philosophy of science. At his death in 1974, Bronowski was Research Professor and Fellow of the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in San Diego, California and Director of the Council for Biology in Human Affairs there. At the Salk Institute, which he joined in 1964, Bronowski's field of research was 'human specificity', that is, the analysis of those functions which characterize man and make him unique among animal species.
