“The pursuit of happiness is a most ridiculous phrase; if you pursue happiness you’ll never find it.”
– C. P. Snow (1905 - 1980)

Charles Percy Snow, Baron Snow, CBE (15 October 1905-1 July 1980) was a scientist and novelist. Born in Leicester, he was educated at Cambridge University, where he became a Fellow of Christ’s College in 1930. He was knighted in 1957 and served as an assistant to the Minister of Technology in the Labour government of Harold Wilson. Snow is most noted for his lectures and books regarding his concept of “The Two Cultures,” as developed in The Two Cultures and the Scientific Revolution (1959). He wrote that the breakdown of communication between the sciences and the humanities is a major hindrance to solving the world’s problems. Snow’s work aroused considerable ferment at the time of its delivery, partly because of the uncompromising style in which he stated his case.
