Summary

An extract from the Indroduction:

Jack Barnes was one of the first "home grown" researchers I met when the University College of Townsville (now James Cook University of North Queensland) started in 1961. His name was already known to me because of my interest in venomous marine animals, and when he first came to the University I was immediately attracted to the man's attitude and commitment to understanding how the Chironex fleckeri discharged its venom, how human victims could be saved, what was the nature of the constituents of the venom, and what could be done to find an "antidote".
