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.

I bought these as a gift and they are adorable! Very well made and will hold up to a lot of chewing, tossing and rough housing.

BEST Dog Toy
Style: Hedgehog dog toys
These hedge hogs w/ball toys are AWESOME! They're the only toy I've found that my yr old miniature schnauzer, Murphy, can't destroy in an hour and he LOVES them. Plus have been the best toy out of a dozen or so other toys he maintains an interest in. Thank you ! !

Versatile, rugged, and silly
Style: Octopus dog toys
This is a silly toy that our puppies have enjoyed (and I get a laugh out of seeing them play tug of war with the tentacles). It has held up well to multiple washes, cleans easily, and has been resilient to sharp puppy teeth (small breed dogs), even with prolonged chewing. It's a versatile size and will keep working well as they grow. I love the natural tension on the tentacles and the crinkles (which always get their attention).

Good Deal
Color: 5 Pack Corduroy
These are our "go to" toys for the dogs. We have one that loves the squeak and another that loves to tear them up, so we order often. Price is and occasionally on sale. They are cute but that is for humans. Loud squeak. They do last longer than some others.
