 William Drummond of Hawthornden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Drummond (December 13, 1585–December 4, 1649), called "of Hawthornden" Scottish poet, was born at Hawthornden, Midlothian.
His father was a gentleman usher at the English court (as he had been at the Scottish court from 1590) and William, in a visit to London in 1606, describes the festivities in connection with the visit of the king of Denmark.
Later editions are by Peter Cunningham (1833), by William R Turnbull in "The Library of Old Authors" (1856), and by WC Ward (1894) for "The Muses' Library." The standard biography of Drummond is by David Masson (1873).

 William Fowler and Elements in the Stars
During his career in nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics, which spanned more that 60 years, Fowler was primarily concerned with studies of fusion reactions--how the nuclei of lighter chemical elements fuse to create the heavier ones in a process known as nucleosynthesis.
Fowler's research was of two kinds: theoretical studies to calculate fusion rates for a wide variety of elements, and experiments with accelerators to guide the theoretical calculations.
Although Fowler was not directly involved in astronomy, his work had special relevance to astronomy, and astronomical observations both supported his results and often stimulated new investigations.

 Caltech Press Release, 3/14/1995, William Fowler
Willy Fowler, as he was known world-wide, was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and raised from the age of two in Lima, Ohio.
In 1957, Fowler coauthored with Fred Hoyle and Geoffrey and Margaret Burbidge the seminal paper "Synthesis of the Elements in the Stars." In it, they showed that all of the elements from carbon to uranium could be produced by nuclear processes in stars, starting only with the hydrogen and helium produced in the Big Bang.
Fowler is survived by his second wife, Mary Dutcher Fowler, and two daughters, Mary Emily Fowler Galowin, and Martha Summer Fowler Schoenemann.

William Fowler's Empires at War is original, and praiseworthy, because he troubles to set the North American conflict in the European context.
Fowler is also to be praised for the prominent role he assigns to the First Nations of eastern North America, who fought according to their own agendas and not merely as French or British auxiliaries.
Fowler's lucid account details the strategic, political and personal dynamics behind the campaigning and conveys the color and drama of this arduous struggle, in which the genteel etiquette of 18th-century warfare sometimes gave way to massacre and counter-massacre and the harsh wilderness terrain reduced combatants to starvation and cannibalism.
