Cathedrals of Science: The Personalities and Rivalries That Made Modern Chemistry
Coffey, Patrick (Visiting Scholar, Office for the History of Science and Technology, Visiting Scholar, Office for the History of Science and Technology, University of California, Berkeley)
Like any other human endeavor, chemistry was built by real people, with all their strengths and faults. Cathedrals of Science describes its construction-the intersection of science and personality that transformed chemistry, with its chemists struggling for understanding, squabbling over scientific credit, and making moral choices about chemical warfare, totalitarianism, and nuclear weapons.
