Autor

Allan Pentecost hails from the town of Southborough in Kent. His primary school on Southborough Common allowed him to observe and become inspired by the natural world. He was introduced to chemistry by an uncle who bought him a Lotts Chemistry set for Christmas 1959. It too proved inspirational and he began a long and happy relationship with the subject. He attended the Tunbridge Wells Technical High School where he was encouraged to pursue science. He won a scholarship in chemistry and physics to Imperial College London in 1967 and after gaining a PhD followed an academic career at the University of London. He is currently an emeritus reader at King's College London and is enjoying retirement in a small village in Cumbria.
