Description
From Alchemy to Chemistry"Chemistry, in particular, is capable, when suitably presented, of making a strong appeal to the intelligence and the imagination; for, as the following pages are intended to show, it is the most romantic of all the branches of science; and in its variegated history, stretching back through unnumbered generations of alchemists into an indefinite past, its present votaries have (if they but knew) a richly human and humanistic heritage." from the
"Chemistry, in particular, is capable, when suitably presented, of making a strong appeal to the intelligence and the imagination; for, as the following pages are intended to show, it is the most romantic of all the branches of science; and in its variegated history, stretching back through unnumbered generations of alchemists into an indefinite past, its present votaries have (if they but knew) a richly human and humanistic heritage." -- from the PrefaceWritten for the layman, this accessible history takes a broad, humanistic perspective, eschewing chemical equations and formulae. Instead it concentrates on the great figures of chemistry and the ideas that revolutionized the science, from earliest history to the modern era.
Much of the book is devoted to alchemy and such topics as the philosopher's stone, alchemical crypticism and symbolism, pseudo-alchemists, Paracelsus, and the "swan song" of alchemy as the scientific revolution took hold. In the final chapters, the author takes up the development of modern chemistry, including atomic theory, the nature of the elements, the beginning of organic chemistry, and more. Broad in scope, erudite yet readable, this rich and absorbing narrative will appeal to anyone interested in the long and colorful history of chemical science. Glossary. 50 illustrations.

Need Battery's

Good floating shelves. I mounted the light strip on the top instead of the bottom because they don't stick well. For the price I wish they came with a set of batteries for the pack and the remote. But over all sturdy and well made.

Very happy
I recently purchased a set of floating shelves, and I couldn't be happier with my decision! From the moment I opened the box, I was impressed by the quality of the materials. The shelves are sturdy and well-crafted, giving me confidence that they will hold my books and decorative items without any issues.
Installation was a breeze! The package came with clear instructions and all the necessary hardware, making the process quick and hassle-free. I was able to mount them in no time, and I appreciated how everything lined up perfectly.
As for the aesthetics, these shelves are a game changer for my space! They add a modern touch to my room and provide a stylish way to display my favorite pieces. The sleek design complements my décor beautifully, and I've received so many compliments from friends and family.
Overall, these floating shelves exceeded my expectations in every way. They are not only functional but also enhance the look of my home. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a stylish and easy-to-install shelving solution!

Shelf is sturdy and made of good material, easy to assemble , LED strip could be better
Size: 24 x 6, Color: Black-rgb, Size: 24 x 6, Color: Black-rgb
The shelf is built of solid material and it is very easy to assemble and also install. The LED strip is okay, nothing special and if you don't flick the actual switch on/off of the battery pack your batteries will drain EXTREMELY FAST; the RGB will start flashing making it seem unusable/defective because the controller won't function properly either when in reality it's just dead batteries. I'd probably buy other LED strips that are of higher quality, rechargable and have more features if I were to purchase these again in the future. Pleased with the purchase overall though.
