About This Book

The second volume traces the rise of modern chemical science through national schools and technical advances: it surveys the foundation and development of chemistry in Britain, Sweden, and France, presents the maturation of analytical methods and the emergence of electrochemistry, and examines the formulation and reception of atomic theory. Interwoven are biographical sketches of influential experimentalists, descriptions of key discoveries and instruments, and discussions of theoretical controversies that shifted practice from older doctrines to more quantitative experimental and theoretical approaches, closing with an assessment of the discipline's contemporary state.
