One of the best short surveys of the history of chemistry I know of. I have always found it useful. -- Marshall Clagett, University of Wisconsin.
This classic survey of the history of chemistry -- one of the most complete short histories available -- is ideal for general readers and undergraduates. Praised for its balanced coverage of both physical and organic chemistry, Professor Partington's well-known text explores a variety of topics. The first four chapters examine the origins of chemistry, alchemy, applied chemistry, and early medical chemistry. Subsequent sections consider early studies of combustion and the nature of the atmosphere, the discovery of gases (including Priestley's experiments on air and his discovery of oxygen), Lavoisier and the foundation of modern chemistry, laws of combining proportions and atomic theory; Davy, Berzelius, and electrochemical theory; the beginnings and development of organic chemistry, the theory of valency, history of physical chemistry, periodic law, and the structure of the atom.
