Svante Arrhenius is a biography written by James Walker that explores the life and work of the Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius. Arrhenius was a pioneering figure in the field of physical chemistry and is best known for his work on the theory of electrolytic dissociation, which helped to explain the behavior of ions in solution. He also made important contributions to the study of thermodynamics and the greenhouse effect, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1903.The book provides a comprehensive overview of Arrhenius's life, from his childhood in Sweden to his later years as a renowned scientist and public figure. It covers his early education and scientific training, his groundbreaking research on electrolytic dissociation, and his later work on the greenhouse effect and other topics. The book also explores Arrhenius's personal life, including his marriage and family, his political views, and his involvement in various social and cultural organizations.Throughout the book, Walker provides a detailed analysis of Arrhenius's scientific contributions, placing them in the context of the broader scientific and historical developments of the time. He also examines the impact of Arrhenius's work on subsequent generations of scientists and the ongoing relevance of his ideas in contemporary research.Overall, Svante Arrhenius is a fascinating and engaging biography that sheds light on the life and work of one of the most important scientists of the 20th century. It will appeal to anyone interested in the history of science, chemistry, or environmental studies.Arrhenius, 1859-1927, Was A Swedish Chemist.
