Francis Huxley was a British botanist and anthropologist, son of Julian Huxley and nephew of Aldous. Affable Savages is his first book. Book.

Francis John Heathorn Huxley (28 August 1923 – 29 October 2016) was a British zoologist, anthropologist and author. With a short professional career at St Catherine’s College, Oxford, he is best known for his several anthropological expeditions to The Gambia, the Amazon, and Haiti, among other places, from which he wrote several notable books.

NOTE: This is an original  book from the library gathered by the famous Cambridge Don, computer scientist, food and wine connoisseur, Jack Arnold LANG. Note: Jack founded the Michelin Guide ‘Midsummer House’- Cambridge’s paramount restaurant. This dining experience is hidden amongst the grassy pastures and grazing cattle of Midsummer Common and perched on the banks of the River Cam. 

In 2008, Jack was one of the co-founders of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, alongside other members of the Department, and acted as the Foundation’s Chair. The project’s original goals were modest: to build and distribute low-cost computers for prospective applicants to our Computer Science degree. Initially the project was a “success disaster”, as Jack would say, as demand far outstripped the low-scale manufacturing plans. Ultimately the Raspberry Pi became the UK’s most successful computer with more than 60 million sold to date. Jack was drawn to the educational possibilities of the Raspberry Pi, its potential uses in emerging economies and the way it could support self-directed learning.
