Download or read book Chemical Sciences in the Modern World written by Seymour H. Mauskopf and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It would be difficult to overestimate the importance of the chemical sciences to the modern world. In the last 150 years, they have transformed our physical environment, our material culture, our manner of living, and even our persons—and they are continuing to do so in profound ways. Yet the detailed and systematic study of the history of the modern chemical sciences has been relatively late in coming. This compilation of essays by leading scholars represents the first fruits of modern historical scholarship. The essays vary in form and content: some represent detailed, original research; others are cast as synoptic blueprints for future research in major domains of scholarship; still others are provocative reflections on the opportunities and challenges facing historians of chemical sciences and industries and their audiences. The essays in Part One deal with the experimental generation of new chemical knowledge, the nature of theories about chemical knowledge, and the reception of new knowledge by the chemical community. Part Two is devoted primarily to the development of modern industrial chemistry. Part Three is concerned with preserving archives and artifacts owned by public and private institutions, with making the history of chemistry accessible to persons interested but not trained in history, and with helping both policymakers and the general public to understand the policy issues involving the chemical sciences and industries trough the insights provided by historical research. Part Four, the concluding section, discusses future prospects for the history f the chemical sciences, addressing questions about methodology, audience, and new directions for research.

Download or read book Chemical Evolution written by Stephen Finney Mason and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent accounts of the chemical history of the universe have tended to emphasize either the inorganic or the organic aspects of chemical evolution, looking for example, at the nucleosynthesis of the chemical elements on the one hand, or the origin and development of living organisms on theother. This book takes the chemistry as the central science of all materials - inorganic and organic - at the molecular level, and brings together both aspects in a clear account of the development of ideas of chemical evolution.This fascinating survey covers the generation of the light chemical elements in the Big Bang, their transformation into heavier elements in the stars, the origin of the solar system, and the molecular evolution of minerals and organisms on the earth. Spanning the range from nuclear chemistry andradioactivity, through mineral and organic chemistry, to biochemistry and molecular biology, it adopts a historical approach to show how recent research has modified and extended earlier conclusions and conjectures. The book is essential reading for all those interested in the development ofscientific ideas on the origins of the universe, chemical matter, and life on earth.
Download or read book From Classical to Modern Chemistry written by Peter J. T. Morris and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2002 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most chemists today have either taken part in, or been affected by, the chemical revolution that has taken place over the course of the last century. Developments in instrumentation have changed not just what chemists do, but also how they think about chemistry. New and exciting areas of previously inaccessible research have been opened up as a direct result of this revolution. This is the first book to examine this instrumental revolution and goes on to assess the impact on chemical practice in areas ranging from organic chemistry and biochemistry to environmental analysis and process control, thus demonstrating how fundamental and extensive are the changes that have occurred. With contributions from internationally recognised specialists, this lavishly illustrated book provides a focal point for any historian of chemistry or chemist with an interest in this fascinating topic. This book is published in association with the Science Museum, London, UK and the Chemical Heritage Foundation, Philadelphia.

Download or read book A Chemical Sign of Life Classic Reprint written by Shiro Tashiro and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Chemical Sign of Life The present work is an attempt to apply facts discovered during the study of the physiology of nerves to living processes in general. That mechanism characteristic of all living matter which enables it to respond to the external world is best developed in the nervous system. This mechanism may be called the most characteristic thing in life. The chemical accompaniment, or basis, of this mechanism, discovered by the author in nerve fibers, he has hoped to show exists also in all forms of living matter, both of plants and of animals. It gives a chemical method of distinguishing living from dead tissue, and of measuring the quantity of life. This book, therefore, contains somewhat in detail all the essential facts which he with his students has discovered from studies of the chemical changes in nerves accompanying functional change. In the presentation of this work, however, many important references and discussions have been omitted in order that the reader may not lose the main trend of the argument. The facts themselves are nevertheless given in the form of accurate numerical data so that the book may be useful also to the specialist whose interest lies more directly in the general physiology of the nervous system. In an appendix the detailed method for the use of the biometer is added in response to frequent requests of many friends and students who wish to use it for various biological and chemical researches. The author is deeply indebted to Professor A. P. Mathews for his criticism, scientific and literary, during the preparation of the work.

Download or read book Recent Advances in Physical and Inorganic Chemistry Classic Reprint written by Alfred W. Stewart and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-05 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recent Advances in Physical and Inorganic Chemistry IN view of the fact that the last edition of this book was exhausted within little more than a year of its publication, it might be supposed that a fourth edition could have been prepared simply by reprinting the third one; but on account of the important researches which have been carried out within the last twelve months, it was felt that it would be better to rewrite part of the volume rather than to let it go out incomplete. As a result, this edition differs considerably from its predecessor. Additions have been made to the chapter on absorption spectra; the position of the rare earth elements in the Periodic Table has been more fully examined the newer work on mass Spectra has been described; the problem of transmutation has been given increased space to include the work of Rutherford on nitrogen; and the chapter on the isotopes has been slightly extended.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook for the Bio-Chemical Laboratory: Including Methods of Preparation and Numerous Tests, Arranged Alphabetically IN this little handbook an attempt has been made to give concise directions for preparing the most important sub stances that enter into the composition of the fluids and tissues of the animal body. The methods herein presented are compiled from the most recent and important works on physiological chemistry; and in certain instances two or three procedures are given for obtaining the same result. The two hundred or more tests are arranged in alphabetical order and the name of the scientist who suggested the test, or the name under which it is ordinarily known, is given in each case. My most earnest desire in compiling this hand book has been both to facilitate general work in bio-chemical laboratories and to afford the student an opportunity to have conveniently at hand all the necessary facts in modern scientific testing, so that loss of time in consulting works of reference might be reduced to a minimum.
