David Rubinstein was born in Cleveland, Ohio, and sacrificed his passion for baseball to become a student in London 55 years ago. He taught history in schools there, later became a senior lecturer at Hull University, and has held academic posts in York and France.He has produced the first definitive history of the Yorkshire Philosophical Society, now in its 187th year, and of the Darwin episode he writes: The delay in according recognition to this titan of 19th-century science looks timid from our perspective, but it must have seemed sensible discretion at the time. That's because the YPS's membership was still, as it had been from the outset, much influenced by clergymen.
