Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Eminent Chemists of Our Time We have several books dealing with the history of chemistry; there are a number of biographies of pioneer chemists; but, so far as I am aware - and this includes books in French and German as well as in English - the chemists of our time have been ignored completely. The Dickenses and Thackerays of chemistry have received attention - not any too much, to be sure; but the moderns, the Anatole Frances and Wells, have received none. To fill such a want is the object of this work. How much these men and woman who are here treated are of our time may be gauged from the following: of the eleven whose lives and work are discussed, one died in 1897 (through suicide, be it added); three, in 1907; one, in 1911; one, in 1916; one, in 1919; and four are still alive. The question may very naturally be asked, why were just these eleven selected? To this I would answer, that, with the historical perspective in mind, I wished to review the achievements of those men whose work is indissolubly bound up with the progress of chemistry during the last generation or so. I wished, then, to write a history of chemistry of our times by centering it around some of its leading figures.
