  • From Coronation Street to a Consummate Chemist Brian Halton from Coronation Street to a Consummate Chemist Brian Halton
    From Coronation Street to a Consummate Chemist Brian Halton From Coronation Street to a Consummate Chemist Brian Halton - i - Clarity arisis in the spaces in between From The Fifth Woman by Henning Mankell published by Harvill Press and used by permission of the Random House Group Limited - iii - About the covers The painting that adorns the front cover is the 1901 watercolour entitled Victo- ria College: First Chemistry Laboratory, 1901, painted by Sybil Johnson. It was donated to the Victoria University of Wellington Art Collection in 1949 by Lady Easterfield, wife of the first Professor of Chemistry and hangs in Laby 101, the Level 1 Office of the School of Chemical and Physical Sciences in the Laby Build- ing. The laboratory was not on the Kelburn campus but housed in an upstairs room of the then Wellington Technical School in Victoria Street. The photograph on the back cover is of the author at age 70 years, taken by Sean Craig in 2011. - iv - Foreword Brian Halton’s autobiography tells the story of one of New Zealand’s most dis- tinguished organic chemists, from his birth and early life in Lancashire, his uni- versity education at Southampton, his migration to New Zealand in 1968, and his subsequent life as an international research chemist and academic from his base at Victoria University of Wellington. The book is full of contemporary detail and illustrated with interesting pictures and diagrams. Professor Halton tells of the intricate interplay of events and interactions which led him through various way- points and junctions on his remarkable professional career.
