From Caveman to Chemist Circumstances and Achievements
W
hat was the connection between early chemistry and magic? What was the logic that made alchemists think they could make gold out of lead? Why were gases not recognized until the 17th century? Why did it take 49 years before Avogadro's hypoth esis was accepted? In From Caveman to Chemist author Hugh Salzberg traces the oddities of chemistry, ex amining cultural and political influences on the ideas of chemists. He follows the evolution of chemistry from the Stone Age beginnings of ceramics and metallurgy, through the rise and decline of alchemy, to the culmination of clas sical chemistry in the late 19th century. Chapters 1 through 9 lead from prehistoric technology, through ancient and medieval sci ence to the study of chemicals and reactions that resulted in the 16th century birth of sci entific chemistry. Subsequent chapters focus on key chemists such as Sala, Boyle, Black. La voisier, Dalton, Berzelius, Laurent, and Arrhenius as they developed the ideas that led to classical chemistry and the concepts of mole cules, chemical reactions, homology, valence, and molecular formulas and structures. among others. Twenty topical illustrations enhance the text. Six timelines and two maps help readers understand the influences of early history on chemistry. About the Author Hugh W. Salzberg taught chemistry at the City University of New York for 35 years and of fered courses in the history of chemistry over a period of EO years. From Caveman to Chem ist reflects his dual passions for chemistry and history and his profound admiration of the great minds that developed the ideas of chemistry. Hugh W.
