Full Description
Julian P. Perry Robinson (1941-2020) made a unique contribution to protecting the world from the misuse of chemistry and biology. A trained chemist and patent lawyer, he applied his specialist knowledge to better understand the nature of chemical and biological warfare (CBW) and how best to prevent this. He pioneered open source methods that enabled him to engage with, and inform, national and international policy making, working across the natural and social sciences, and with diverse sectors, including governments, international organizations, and non-governmental research, advocacy and trade groups. His influence can be seen in the achievement and implementation of the Biological Weapons Convention and Chemical Weapons Convention, and in his influence on CBW scholarship.
This book details his life and work through chapters by people that knew him best - his widow, a close colleague, his son, and a dear friend - alongside reprints of a selection of his publications chosen by his research partners, family and friends, and a bibliography of his CBW writings.
