that time not given the credit that they now receive. Garrod was an individual who was far ahead of his time. He owed much to fellow scientists such as Sir Frederick Gowland Hopkins, whom he had known at Guy's Hospital before he went to Cambridge. There was also a close affinity between his own ideas and those of J. B. S. Haldane. On a personal level it is not surprising that in later life he became somewhat withdrawn, but he always inspired the greatest respect and regard for his scientific work. The single gene, single enzyme hypothesis for which Beadle and Tatum are so rightly regarded owed much to Garrod's work, although Beam believes that in his tribute to Garrod in his 1958 Nobel lecture, Beadle was "almost overgenerous". Alexander Beam's biography, prefaced by an adulatory account of Garrod by the Nobel Laureates Joseph L. Goldstein and M. S. Brown, themselves clinician scientists in the Garrod tradition, is an outstanding contribution to modern scientific biography.
