Jacob Bronowski: A humanist intellectual for an atomic age, 1946–1956
Jacob (‘Bruno’) Bronowski (1908–1974), on the basis of having examined the effects of the atomic bombing of Japan in late 1945, became one of Britain's most vocal and best-known scientific intellectuals engaged in the cultural politics of the early atomic era.

The strikes, especially the long …
