 | Synopsis (from Waterstones.com) From the Suffolk countryside to the old Basque towns of Spain, Emma Darwin's unforgettable debut tells the astoundingly moving story of Stephen, a veteran of Waterloo, whose suffering and secret lost happiness is transformed by love. Gorgeously written, fascinating and engrossing, THE MATHEMATICS OF LOVE is a sexy, heart-breaking, glorious novel by a major new literary star. |
 | Synopsis (from Waterstones.com) Two murdered princes; a powerful queen betrayed; a nobleman riding towards his certain death...The story of the Princes in the Tower has been one of the most fascinating - and most brutal - murder mysteries in history for more than five hundred years. In a brilliant feat of historical daring, Emma Darwin has recreated the terrible, exhilarating world of the two youngest victims of the War of the Roses: the power struggles and passion that lay behind their birth, the danger into which they fell, the profoundly moving days before their imprisonment, and the ultimate betrayal of their innocence. In A Secret Alchemy, three voices speak: that of Elizabeth Woodville, the beautiful widow of King Edward IV; of her brother Anthony, surrogate father to the doomed Prince Edward and his brother Dickon; and that of present-day historian Una Pryor. Orphaned, and herself brought up in a family where secrets and rivalries threaten her world, Una's experience of tragedy, betrayal and lost love help her unlock the long-buried secrets that led to the princes' deaths. Weaving their stories together, Emma Darwin brilliantly evokes how the violence and glamour of past ages live on within our present. |

__________________________________________________________________
He was also the driving force behind the establishment of USIDNET, a consortium of PID researchers in the US, and pioneered a paradigm shift in funding of clinical research on PID, including the award of grants that led to the discovery of novel genes involved in PID.
He supported strategies to optimise the success of stem cell transplantation and gene therapy for PID and championed the establishment of an NIH registry for patients with PID and a repository of cell lines, tissue and DNA derived from PID patients that is now available to researchers worldwide.
He was in addition a tireless advocate for trainees and nurtured the steady growth of the PID research community through new training programmes.
He was also a key player in NIAID’s programme on autoimmune disease. He was instrumental in the renewal and expansion of the NIAID autoimmunity centres of excellence to include nine academic centres.
He was involved in the design and support of numerous early phase studies of novel therapeutics in diseases such as multiple sclerosis, autoimmune diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, pemphigus vulgaris, and Sjogren’s syndrome. The therapeutic agents under investigation ranged from marketed drugs and biologics to vitamins and novel compounds still in development.
Wedgwood was masterful in bringing together the multidisciplinary teams required to design, implement and conduct such studies. As chair of the trans-NIH Autoimmune Diseases Co-ordinating Committee, he worked closely with representatives of more than 30 federal agencies, private research foundations and patient advocacy groups.
Josiah Francis Wedgwood was born in 1950. He was a direct descendant of the 18th-century founder of the Wedgwood pottery company that introduced black basalt, Jasperware, and bone china to the English trade from 1754. His grandfather, Josiah Wedgwood, directed the firm from 1930 to 1968. His great-grandfather, Josiah Clement Wedgwood, was a Labour MP and a noted parliamentary gadfly, supporting Winston Churchill in sounding the alarm about Nazi aggression and urging that Western countries provide a refuge for Jews fleeing Europe.
The US branch of the Wedgwood family dates to the Second World War. Josiah Clement Wedgwood was targeted for arrest in the event of a Nazi invasion of England, so he sent his children to be educated in the US.
Josiah Francis Wedgwood graduated magna cum laude from Harvard, where he took his PhD in biochemistry in 1978 for studies on the role of phosphorus in cell membrane transport. He received his MD in 1980 from George Washington University Medical School. He then served on the academic faculties of the Mount Sinai Medical Centre in New York and the Yale School of Medicine.
He was board-certified in paediatrics, paediatric immunology and infectious diseases, neonatology and perinatology. He was a member of the American Academy of Paediatrics and received the academy’s Basil O’Connor award. He was the primary author of numerous articles in medical journals and chapters on neonatology, immunology and paediatric infectious diseases.
Wedgwood is survived by his wife of 27 years, Ruth Wedgwood, the Burling Professor of International Law at the John Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies in Washington, and the US member of the UN Human Rights Committee, and by their son. The immediate cause of his death was given as cardiovascular collapse.
Dr Josiah Francis Wedgwood, physician and expert on diseases of the immune system, was born on February 1, 1950. He died on November 27, 2009, aged 59
THE WEDGWOODS AND THE DARWINS - THE MARRIAGE OF SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY Sunday 15th November 2009
A symposium to be held at the Wedgwood Museum - Winner of The Art Fund Prize and Museum of the Year 2009
The voyage of the Beagle took Charles Darwin to the other side of the Earth, seeking answers to the mystery of man's origins. Yet so often, his questions would lead him back to Staffordshire, to the land of his grandfathers, Josiah Wedgwood and Erasmus Darwin, and to intense discussions with his Wedgwood kin.
At the end of a year in which Darwin's bicentenary and the 150th anniversary of 'Origins' have caused this modest giant of science to be examined, the Wedgwood Museum-Winner of the Art Fund Prize and Museum of the Year 2009 - presents a symposium illustrating the evolution of the relationship between the Wedgwoods and the Darwins.
