| Activity | Museum Staff: Appointed assistant in Department of Botany 6 Nov 1922; resigned 1928.
Good's last book, A Concise Flora of Dorset, was published in 1984 when he was 88. By then he was retired, of course, but he had previously been the head of the Department of Botany at the University of Hull for over thirty years. Good is probably best known for his textbook The Geography of Flowering Plants (which went through several editions), but he also wrote works on evolutionary philosophy (he promoted views of saltational evolution), economic botany, and local history-related subjects.
Served in WWI in 4th Bn Dorset Regiment. He was a staff member at NHM from 1922 - 1928, which he left to take up a post as head of the department of Botany at Hull University and made professor emeritus in 1959. |
