Nationalizing Science
After looking at the early careers of Wurtz's two mentors, Liebig and Jean-Baptiste Dumas, Rocke describes Wurtz's life and career in the politically complex period leading up to 1853. He then discusses the turning point in Wurtz's intellectual life—his conversion to the "reformed chemistry" of Laurent, Gerhardt, and Williamson—and his efforts to persuade his colleagues of the advantages of the new system. In 1869, Adolphe Wurtz (1817-1884) called chemistry "a French science." In fact, however, Wurtz was the most internationalist of French chemists. Born in Strasbourg and educated partly in the laboratory of the great Justus Liebig, he spent his career in Paris, where he devoted himself ...

Name Reactions
In this fifth edition of Jack Jie Li's seminal "Name Reactions", the author has added twenty-seven new name reactions to reflect the recent advances in organic chemistry. As in previous editions, each reaction is delineated by its detailed step-by-step, electron-pushing mechanism and supplemented with the original and the latest references, especially from review articles. Now with addition of many synthetic applications, this book is not only an indispensable resource for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, but is also a good reference book for all organic chemists in both industry and academia. Unlike other books on name reactions in organic chemistry, Name Reactions, A Collection of Detailed Reaction Mechanisms and Synthetic Applications focuses on the reaction mechanisms. It covers over 320 classical as well as contemporary name reactions.
Name Reactions
This book differs from others on name reactions in organic chemistry by focusing on their mechanisms. It covers over 300 classical as well as contemporary name reactions. Biographical sketches for the chemists who discovered or developed those name reactions have been included. Each reaction is delineated by its detailed step-by-step, electron-pushing mechanism, supplemented with the original and the latest references, especially review articles. This book contains major improvements over the previous edition and the subject index is significantly expanded.
A Source Book in Chemistry, 1400-1900
A collection of important writings in the history of chemistry from 1400-1900, each with an introduction by the editors.
Eureka!
"Eureka" ist eine Sammlung der bemerkenswertesten und unterhaltsamsten Geschichten über die großen wissenschaftlichen Entdeckungen, die die Welt verändert haben. Das Buch setzt die Tradition von 'Hellman's Great Feuds in Science' fort und erzählt ein Dutzend Wissenschaftsgeschichten, die sich allesamt auf die besondere Dramatik des unmittelbaren "Heureka Moments" gründen, der vielen wissenschaftlichen Entdeckungen gemeinsam ist. Angefangen beim Amateurwissenschaftler Joseph Priestly, der im 18. Jahrhundert auf die Existenz des Sauerstoffs gestoßen ist, jedoch ohne eine wirkliche Ahnung davon zu haben, was er eigentlich gefunden hatte, bis hin zu dem 14-jährigen Fernseh-Pionier Philo Farnsworth, dem die Idee für einen Fernsehbildschirm beim Pflügen der elterlichen Felder in Idaho kam. Unter den hier vorgestellten Wissenschaftlern befinden sich Berühmtheiten wie Darwin, Einstein und Watson Crick, aber auch etwas obskure Persönlichkeiten, wie z.B. der Chemiker Kekulé und der Mathematiker Benoit Mandelbrot. Bei allen Entdeckungen spielten Glück, gutes Timing und ein wacher Geist eine wesentliche Rolle. "Eureka" - eine ebenso spannende wie unterhaltsame Lektüre.
Methods and Styles in the Development of Chemistry
Chemistry as it is known today is deeply rooted in a variety of thought & action, dating back at least as far as the fifth century B.C. In this book, Joseph Fruton weaves together the history of scientific investigation with social, religious, philosophical, & other events & practices that have contributed to the field of modern chemistry. The story begins with the influence of alchemy on early Greek numerology and philosophy, followed by the historical account of chemical composition and phlogiston. The life and work of Antoine Lavoisier receive extensive coverage in Chapter Three, with the remaining six chapters devoted to atoms, equivalents, and elements; radicals and types; valence and molectualr structure; stereochemistry and organic synthesis; forces, equilibria, and rates; and electrons, reaction mechanisms, and organic synthesis.
