Over the past two centuries chemistry has developed from germinal speculations on the nature of gases and minerals to a highly complex discipline encompassing numerous areas of study. This authoritative and comprehensive volume traces the historical development of chemistry from its roots in ancient Greek theory to the revolutionary and explosive discoveries of the 20th century. The author, Professor Emeritus of Chemistry and History of Science at the University of Wisconsin, places the role of alchemy as a precursor to chemistry and technological arts. This book also shows how discoveries concerning gases in the mid-18th century were pivotal in creating the foundations of chemistry as a modern science.Professor Ihde delves into many other fascinating aspects of chemistry's development as a science. Thus, this unique book:- shows how the errors of alchemy were eventually divorced from chemistry- examines the numerous individuals who contributed to centuries of progress in the theory and application of chemistry- places important discoveries in the context of contemporaneous political, economic, and social development
- provides lucid explanations of important theoretical concepts
- demonstrates chemistry's central role among the modern sciencesMany historians of chemistry focus largely on the material philosophies of the ancient Greeks and the long period of alchemical activity. While including such essential aspects of ancient contributions, Dr. Ihde concentrates heavily on developments that occupied after Joseph Black laid the foundations of quantitative analysis in the mid-18th century. The discoveries of John Dalton, Justus von Liebig, J ns Jakob Berzelius, and many others are examined in the context of their relationship to the development of organic, inorganic, analytical, physical, and industrial chemistry.Its extraordinary thorough and lucid coverage of the myriad aspects of modern chemistry makes the moderately priced paperbound edition an ideal supplementary text for high-school and college-level courses, as well as a stimulating, highly readable book for the interested layman.

Great lessons, very repetitive content
Format: Paperback
Not that I am hoping my baby will be a screamer, but if he is I hope that the lessons learned from this book will be put to good use. It’s a decent read in terms of learning actual techniques - hence the five stars - however its length is equivalent to being given a 2,000 word assignment and you reiterate the same five things four times in different ways.
I would recommend buying the video on Amazon Video for like $5 to see how the man actually puts these techniques to practice.

Feels heavenly
Style: Detoxify - Stretch Cloth, Size: 3 Count (Pack of 1)
I’ve been really impressed with the Cleanlogic Body Exfoliating Cloth. It creates a rich lather, feels durable, and leaves skin feeling much smoother and cleaner after each use. It does a great job removing dry skin and gives that fresh, polished feeling without needing a scrub full of beads or grit. It also dries quickly between uses, which is a nice bonus.
One thing to keep in mind is that it has a fairly rough texture. If you have sensitive skin, it may feel too abrasive or harsh, especially if you scrub too hard. For normal to rougher skin types though, it works wonderfully and gives a really deep exfoliating clean.
