Justus Von Liebig
One of the founding fathers of organic chemistry and also a great teacher, the German scientist Justus von Liebig transformed scientific education, medical practice, and agriculture in Great Britain. William H. Brock's fresh interpretation of Liebig's stormy career shows how he moved chemistry into the sociopolitical marketplace, demonstrating its significance for society in food production, nutrition, and public health. Through his controversial ideas on artificial fertilizers and recycling, his theory of disease, and his stimulating suggestions concerning food and nutrition, he warned the world of the dangers of failing to recycle sewage or to replace soil nutrients. Liebig also played the role of an elder statesman of European science by commenting, via popular lectures and expansions of his readable Chemical Letters, on such issues as scientific methodology and materialism.

Familiar Letters on Chemistry
Justus von Liebig (1803-1873) was a German chemist who made major contributions to agricultural and biological chemistry and is known for his discovery of nitrogen as an essential plant nutrient. These letters "were written for the especial purpose of exciting the attention of governments, and an enlightened public, to the necessity of establishing Schools of Chemistry, and of promoting by every means, the study of a science so intimately connected with the arts, pursuits, and social well-being of modern civilised nations."
The Robbery of Nature
Bridges the gap between social and environmental critiques of capitalism In the nineteenth century, Karl Marx, inspired by the German chemist Justus von Liebig, argued that capitalism’s relation to its natural environment was that of a robbery system, leading to an irreparable rift in the metabolism between humanity and nature. In the twenty-first century, these classical insights into capitalism’s degradation of the earth have become the basis of extraordinary advances in critical theory and practice associated with contemporary ecosocialism. In The Robbery of Nature, John Bellamy Foster and Brett Clark, working within this historical tradition, examine capitalism’s plundering of natu...
Commemorating 150 Years of Justus Von Liebig's Legacy
Justus Freiherr (Baron) von Liebig (born 12 May 1803 - died 18 April 1873) was a renowned German chemist who made significant contributions to inorganic, organic, and agricultural chemistry. Liebig's work at the University of Giessen in Germany led to the development of modern teaching methods based on experimental laboratory-oriented work. This earned him recognition as one of the "greatest chemistry teachers of all time". He is often referred to as the "father of the fertilizer industry" from his seminal contributions on nitrogen and trace minerals as essential plant nutrients. Through these contributions and more, Liebig helped shape the field of inorganic, organic, food, and agricultural chemistry. Thus, it is more than deserved that a Special Issue of Chemistry was dedicated in 2023 to commemorate 150 Years of Justus von Liebig's Legacy. We are happy that 21 colleagues and their coworkers from all areas of chemistry accepted our invitation and contributed to this Special Issue of Chemistry in 2023. Their contributions are now also collected in this Special Issue reprint.

Organic Chemistry in its Applications to Agriculture and Physiology
German chemist and teacher Justus von Liebig (1803-73) first gained recognition for his pioneering experimental work in organic chemistry at the University of Giessen. His laboratory-based teaching methods also influenced chemical education across Europe. The potential applications of chemistry in agriculture and physiology became the main focus of his research in later years. In this highly influential 1840 work, Liebig rejects the prevalent humus theory of plant nutrition and argues that crop yield is limited by the scarcest element from the pool of nitrates and minerals available to the plant. By 1848, Liebig's study had been reissued seventeen times and translated into eight languages. This 1840 English edition was prepared by his student Lyon Playfair (1818-98), who presented Liebig's findings to the British Association for the Advancement of Science. Liebig's 1842 publication detailing the chemical basis of animal metabolism is also reissued in this series in English translation.
