This is the first volume of a comprehensive scientific biography of
Hans Krebs, one of the world's foremost biochemists. It treats his childhood, his medical education and scientific apprenticeship under

Krebs' laboratory notebooks that reveal the daily dimensions of scientific creativity. Based in addition on many personal interviews with its subject, the Krebs biography is certain to interest and intrigue biochemists and historians of science alike. Volume 2: Hans
Krebs: Architect of Intermediary Metabolism 1933-37, will appear in spring, 1993.
