Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Sir Humphrey Davy and the Invention of the Safety-Lamp It seems, therefore, that in a chemical sense coal differs from wood in containing nearly twice as much carbon, somewhat less hydrogen, which is one Of the chief elements of water, and con siderably less oxygen, which is one Of the chief elements of air; in other words, as the wood gradually decays, the hydrogen and oxygen, or gaseous parts, disappear more quickly than the carbon, or solid parts, and hence a great excess Of carbon remains in the fossil wood. Roughly speaking, we may say that you can convert wood into coal by soaking it in water, and exposing it to Immense heat and pressure for a considerable period.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What did it mean to be a scientist before the profession itself existed? Jan Golinski finds an answer in the remarkable career of Humphry Davy, the foremost chemist of his day and one of the most distinguished British men of science of the nineteenth century. Originally a country boy from a modest background, Davy was propelled by his scientific accomplishments to a knighthood and the presidency of the Royal Society. An enigmatic figure to his contemporaries, Davy has continued to elude the efforts of biographers to classify him: poet, friend to Coleridge and Wordsworth, author of travel narratives and a book on fishing, chemist and inventor of the miners’ safety lamp. What are we to make of such a man? In The Experimental Self, Golinski argues that Davy’s life is best understood as a prolonged process of self-experimentation. He follows Davy from his youthful enthusiasm for physiological experiment through his self-fashioning as a man of science in a period when the path to a scientific career was not as well-trodden as it is today. What emerges is a portrait of Davy as a creative fashioner of his own identity through a lifelong series of experiments in selfhood.
