Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book concerns the emerging but complex field of chemistry and presents readers with a breakdown into its organizing principles, key historical insights, and prominent figures. Chemistry can trace its origins back through alchemy all the way to ancient agricultural experiments. The author emphasizes the significance of the work of Antoine Lavoisier, who refuted the prevailing theory that combustion was caused by a hypothetical substance called phlogiston. Instead, Lavoisier showed that oxygen was essential for combustion to occur. The book delves into the complex debates, theories, and discoveries that led to the development of chemistry as we know it today, revealing a subject that is as rich in historical drama as it is in scientific breakthroughs. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
