Discover the remarkable life and mind of Sir Christopher Wren, the visionary architect behind St Paul’s Cathedral and one of Britain’s greatest scientific thinkers. His Invention So Fertile offers the first truly comprehensive portrait of Wren—architect, astronomer, anatomist, mathematician, and central figure in the early Royal Society.

This insightful biography explores Wren’s extraordinary range of achievements: mapping the moon, studying comets and meteorology, designing revolutionary scientific instruments, and rebuilding London after the Great Fire. It also reveals the man behind the genius—his family life, friendships, rivalries, and the complex political world he navigated.

Richly researched and highly readable, this book is essential for anyone with an interest in St Paul’s Cathedral, architectural history, or the scientific revolution that shaped modern Britain.
