Sir George White

Sir George White spent most of his working life as curator of the world's oldest clock and watch museum, now displayed within the Science Museum, London. He has published many books and articles on horology, cars, aeroplanes, the new home of Bristol Zoo and other subjects.

His latest book is a biography of the pioneering naturalist, artist and forgotten local hero John Knapp (1767-1845), for thirty years a resident of Alveston and the author of the internationally best-selling work The Journal of a Naturalist. The new biography includes the previously unpublished fifth edition of the journal, created from Knapp's original notes.
