BOOK BRIEF reviewed 9/94 The Norton History of Chemistry . William H. Brock. W.W. Norton (1993). ISBN 0-393-31043-4. 744 pp. $15.95 paper ($35 cloth). [published in Can., Eng., Aus., and NZ as The Fontana History of Chemistry.] This new volume has received uniformly favorable reviews. Particular strengths include attention to biographical detail, the social impact of chemical discoveries, and such oft-neglected topics as the development of laboratories and techniques, the supply of apparatus and chemicals, and the problem of purity. A thematic organization (following the history of the chemical bond, for instance) makes it particularly useful for teaching. One reviewer was especially impressed with how Brock has reinspected stories that have, with time, acquired a mythical character and how he has restored to them a fresh reality. Few good comprehensive volumes are available, so teachers may treasure this valuable addition. What an asset that the style is readable as well(!).

History of the Theory Sector of the Chemistry Department Members of the Theoretical Sector have been at the forefront of discoveries in Theoretical Chemistry since the inception of the subject around 1930. We will confine our history to some of the people who have worked in the Sector. Professor Sir John Lennard-Jones (FRS), one of the founding fathers of molecular orbital theory, was appointed as the John Humphrey Plummer Professor of Theoretical Chemistry in 1933. Our library of PhD theses commences with two (non PhD) volumes (1933, 1934) by C A Coulson (FRS). One of these on 'Some problems in Molecular Structure' acknowledges the 'kindness and interest of L-J'. An early visitor to the Sector was W G Penney (FRS). We also have the thesis (1937) of S F Boys (FRS), who was also a student of L-J, on 'Optical Rotation'. Boys was appointed in 1947 to a University Lectureship in the Department, where he remained until his death in 1972. Boys was a pioneer in recognizing the importance of computation in theoretical chemistry. After the war, J A Pople (FRS, Nobel Laureate 1998) was a student of L-J, completing his thesis in 1950. Pople became a University Lecturer in the Mathematics Department. Other students included G G Hall, A C Hurley and J S Griffith.

The history of chemistry on Earth and Almea This was some research I did in order to name chemical substances in Verdurian... a project that required learning quite a bit about the history of chemistry on Earth. (Chemistry, unlike biology and culture, will work the same on every planet!) I didn't want to simply adapt terrestrial chemical terms, because these are based on elements; you have to have a quite sophisticated theory and practice of chemistry to name something (say) "carbon dioxide". I wanted to go about it 'the right way': to understand what substances would be known by cultures of various sophistication, how they were derived, what technology was required or where they might occur naturally, what they were used for, what properties they have. Knowing all this, a plausible chronology of discovery and a reasonable set of names could be derived for Almea. If this is just too geeky for you, here's just the good parts Contents The discovery of substances on Earth Every inorganic substance people knew about before about 1800, in chronological order. Verdurian substance names and their origins . Organized, of course, by Cadhinorian alchemical principles.

SCH3A Grade 11 Chemistry Historical Background: Part III Two Centuries of Transition: 1600-1800 Between 1500 and 1600, we enter the most interesting phase of the development of chemical concepts. It is a period of change which represents the transition from earlier ideas, and from alchemy, to an era of chemistry whose ideas are essentially those of modern chemistry. This occurred by about 1800, so that this period begins with Johann Van Helmont and ends with Antoine L. Lavoisier (AD 1743 - 1794). Much of this study involved gases and the nature of combustion. The erroneous concept of phlogiston is perhaps the best-known concept of the period. Johann Baptista Van Helmont (1579-1644) of Brussels studied several subjects before finally choosing to follow a career in medicine. He became a medical chemist as well as an ardent follower of Paracelsus. The chemical side of medicine finally took over from the medical side and he devoted much of his life to chemical experiments. He has been described as the last alchemist and the first chemist, because although he believed in alchemy, including the production of gold from lead which he claimed to have performed, his emphasis upon experiment rather than argument is a great advance. Van Helmont is an important figure in the development of chemical concepts because it is impossible to separate an understanding of the nature of air from an understanding of the nature of combustion, or burning in air. Air had been considered by Aristotle and the Greek philosophers as one of the four elements, with real "airs" or what we call gases all being more or less contaminated ideal air. The concept of different gases was not clearly understood. All known gases or vapors were considered as different mixtures of air and earth or air and fire. This Greek understanding of the nature of air persisted through the Middle Ages and through the period of alchemy.

Hugh Cartwright, Physical and Theoretical Chemistry Laboratory, Oxford University, Hugh.Cartwright@chem.ox.ac.uk Instruments and Experimentation in the History of Chemistry is a collection of fourteen essays that focus on the development of the tools and methods of science. The authors, who have a broad range of academic backgrounds in chemistry and the history of science, are divided roughly evenly between North American and European universities. It is by no means obvious that a book about chemistry equipment is going to be a riveting read (except perhaps for science historians). However, each author covers a different period or aspect of the evolution of instrumentation, and they bring to the book various perspectives and writing styles. This variety of styles does much to make the topic palatable. Indeed, the way in which modern instruments have developed from the crude apparatus available to the alchemists turns out to be far more fascinating than one might at first expect. The book takes the reader on a scientific adventure from the alchemists to the start of the twentieth century. While it is ostensibly concerned just with instruments and how they were developed and used, it is inevitably also about the instrument makers and the arguments in which they became embroiled. The evolution of instruments is thus interwoven with the history of contemporary scientists.
