Over the past two centuries chemistry has developed from germinal speculations on the nature of gases and minerals to a highly complex discipline encompassing numerous 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 chemistry 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.Professor Ihde delves into many other fascinating aspects of chemistry's development as a science. Thus, this unique book:- shows how the errors of alchemy were eventually divorced from chemistry- examines the numerous individuals who contributed to centuries of progress in the theory and application of chemistry- places important discoveries in the context of contemporaneous political, economic, and social development
- provides lucid explanations of important theoretical concepts
- demonstrates chemistry's central role among the modern sciencesMany historians of chemistry focus largely on the material philosophies of the ancient Greeks and the long period of alchemical activity. While including such essential aspects of ancient contributions, Dr. Ihde concentrates heavily on developments that occupied after Joseph Black laid the foundations of quantitative analysis in the mid-18th century. The discoveries of John Dalton, Justus von Liebig, J ns Jakob Berzelius, and many others are examined in the context of their relationship to the development of organic, inorganic, analytical, physical, and industrial chemistry.Its extraordinary thorough and lucid coverage of the myriad aspects of modern chemistry makes the moderately priced paperbound edition an ideal supplementary text for high-school and college-level courses, as well as a stimulating, highly readable book for the interested layman.

Great fit and look
Size: Medium, Color: Grey
Husband loved it! Great fit and he said it was comfortable. Can be worn untucked or tucked in pants. He wore it with jeans and a blazer untucked for a graduation party and looked perfect for the occasion.

Tight in Chest for Broad Chested Men
Size: XX-Large, Color: Green
Quality is okay but not great. The biggest problem was the size. It was too tight for my broad chest. Ended up giving it away. I bought some similar shirts from a different supplier that I didn’t have issues with.

NOT SLIM FIT.
Size: Large, Color: White
NOT A SLIM FIT. Misleading. White is off-white, cream. Not neutral, bright white. Decent material. Ok quality. Textured, thin but not too thin. Dressy, not very casual.

nice shirt for the price
Fit Type: Slim Fit, Color: Light Blue/Indigo, Plaid, Size: XX-Large
I am quite impressed with this shirt. It fits well and was priced great. Be forewarned though it does wrinkle. You almost have to iron it each time you wear it. The shirt fits really well though given the fact it is cheap it fits me perfectly. I stand at 6'2" and am 230 pounds. It runs true to size. The fabric is not very thick yet it is not very breathable either. The shirt is lightweight but not much of a breeze flows through the shirt. It is for work and I did not want to spend a ton of money on a shirt that may get ruined or messed up. So far it is holding up quite well and I foresee it being durable for years if I take care of it. It is cotton or feels like cotton which is nice because it is getting more difficult to find a shirt which is not some type of synthetic fabric. It will keep you warm on chillier days but there is a good chance you could be overheated on the warmer days.
