Atoms and Alchemy: Chymistry and the Experimental Origins of the Scientific Revolution
William R. Newman
Since the Enlightenment, alchemy has been viewed as a sort of antiscience, disparaged by many historians as a form of lunacy that impeded the development of rational chemistry. This title exposes the speciousness of these views and challenges widely held beliefs about the origins of the Scientific Revolution.
