Story of Alchemy and the Beginnings of Chemistry
An audiobook reading of M. M. Pattison Muir's history of chemistry, tracing the subject from its origins in the secretive practices of alchemy through to the development of modern atomic theory. The book follows the gradual shift from mystical speculation to experimental science, showing how early alchemists' aims gave way to genuine chemical knowledge. Written from the vantage point of the early twentieth century, it also highlights lines of inquiry that later proved to be dead ends. This LibriVox recording is read by Peter Yearsley.
