Overview
A concise volume that explores the history of chemistry and particles (Li-Be-Re and Ge-Ni-Al-I, from the combination of the symbols of certain chemical elements) in an original way and addresses some of the most curious aspects of this discipline, from the discovery of matter starting with fire in prehistoric times up to the radioactivity of the last century.
The book, divided into ten sections presented in chronological order, guides readers through the discovery of chemical elements via some more or less well-known scientific personalities who, with tenacity and passion–and sometimes by chance–managed to make significant contributions not only to the history of chemistry but also to culture in general.
The result is a picture that highlights the importance of collective work, both among contemporary scientists and those who lived in very different eras, in a synergy capable of transcending space and time. In particular, the book brings to light several important female scientists whose fame remained for a long time overshadowed by that of their spouses.
