Anthony R. Michaelis (22 August 1916 – 18 October 2007) was a science journalist and publisher. He was born Kurt Otto Adolf Michaelis, a doctor's son, in Berlin on August 22, 1916, and educated at the Falk Real Gymnasium. Although baptised a Lutheran, he had three Jewish grandparents, which meant that after Hitler came to power in 1933 he would not be allowed to study science - so his father sent him to London. He died in Heidelberg in 2007.
