Philip Stewart, (born on January 8, 1939 in London, England), is a British writer and teacher. He decided at an early age that he did not want to choose between arts and sciences. He took a first degree in 1961 at the University of Oxford, England in Arabic, then, as a young graduate, translated a novel by Naguib Mahfouz, published in 1981 as Children of Gebelawi, revised in 1997 as Children of Gebelaawi. In 1965 he took a second Oxford degree in Forestry and spent seven years working as a forester in Algeria before returning to Oxford to teach Economics to Biology students and Human Ecology to Human Sciences students. He retired from the University in 2006, but continues to teach. His special interest is in the way that belief systems affect the way that people interact with natural systems. His love of both chemistry and astronomy led him in 2004 to publish a new representation of the periodic system of the elements - Chemical Galaxy.
