THE DEVELOPMENT OF MODERN CHEMISTRY Ihde, Aaron J.

Over the past two centuries chemistry has developed from germinal speculations on the nature of gases and minerals to a hoghly complex discipline encompassing munerous areas of study. This authoritative and comprehensive volume traces the historical development of chemistry from its roots in ancient Greek theory to the revolutionary and explosive discoveries of the 20th century.The author, Professor Emeritus of Chemistry and History of Science at the University of Wisconsin, places the role of alchemy as a "precursor" to chemostry in perspective -he reveals that chemistry inherited just as much from medicine and technological arts. This book also shows how discoveries concerning gases in the mid-18th century were pivotal in creating the foundations of chemistry as a modern science.
