J.D. Bernal
Abstract
When John Desmond Bernal died on September 15, 1971, the peoples of the world lost a great communist scientist, whose enormous gifts had been applied unreservedly on their behalf throughout his whole adult life. He was, in a way, a modern Francis Bacon. But while Bacon analysed science at the service of youthful capitalism, Bernal saw it as the tool of socialist man.
