Chemical Achievers
This book was designed to help teachers supplement science curricula with human stories of discovery in the chemical sciences. Chemical Achievers presents the lives and work of two types of achievers. First are the historical greats, those chemical scientists most often referred to in introductory courses. Second are those scientists who made contributions in areas of the chemical sciences that are of special relevance to modern life and the career choices students will make. The human faces summarized in this book range from Robert Boyle to Glenn Seaborg and Stephanie Kwolek. In this lively and comprehensive collection of photographs and biographies, Bowden illuminates how much the chemical sciences owe to the individual achiever. Over 150 images can be easily reproduced as overhead transparencies or other visual teaching aids.

Joseph Priestley, Radical Thinker
Joseph Priestly, Radical Thinker offers a unique look into the achievements of this scientific giant, whose work helped provide the foundation for chemistry research. The book is the catalog that accompanies an exhibit of historical images and artifacts that commemorated the 200th anniversary of the death of Priestly and includes essays by historian Robert Anderson and Marjorie Gapp, curator of art and images at Chemical Heritage Foundation. Gapp and Mary Ellen Bowden, with Lisa Rosner, also examine the historical significance of the many objects and artifacts found in this fascinating collection.

Robert Burns Woodward and the Art of Organic Synthesis
This is the companion book to the former CHF traveling exhibit by the same name. "This multifaceted portrait of an extraordinary human being, teacher, and consummate organic chemist should inspire more young persons to pursue scientific careers, provide chemists with deep insight into the creative mind of a 'legendary architect of molecules,' and enhance the public's understanding of chemistry and its research methods." - Journal of Chemical Education.
Chymists and Chymistry
This volume brings together papers presented at an international conference at the Chemical Heritage Foundation in 2006 by over twenty eminent researchers. The collection features work on the perennial issues of symbolism, textual exegesis, transmutation and the danger of fraud, as well as treatments of the intersections of alchemy with fine art, theology, archaeology, and gender. Chymists and Chymistry offers readers a wealth of new scholarship on this intriguing topic and glimpses of the exciting frontiers in chymistry waiting to be explored.--Publisher.
Her Lab in Your Life
Her Lab In Your Life is a companion piece to the Chemical Heritage Foundation traveling exhibition Her Lab In Your Life: Women in Chemistry, which is available to universities, libraries, and museums.
