Revival: Famous Chemists (1935) The Men and Their Work Routledge Revivals Series
Auteur : Tilden William A., Sir.
The present volume is an attempt to skitch, in a style suitable for general reading, the lives of some of the most prominent chemists of the past. As it is obviously impossible for one person to deal with them all, the first great difficulty in such a project is to make the selection. After much reflection, the guiding principle adopted is the evolution of the Atomic Theory from the point of view of the Chemist.
