Review # 1 was written on 2018-01-18 00:00:00 Larry Smith Excellent book but technical! Recommended for those who want to understand a leading figure in 20th century chemical sciences and his contributions.

Review # 2 was written on 2021-01-12 00:00:00 Ryan Metcalf I was expecting this to be a difficult read, but it really wasn't. If you are intimidated by the size of the book (like I was), don't be. I would definitely recommend to anyone with an interest in chemistry or the history of science. To be honest, I found the parts on early chemistry/alchemy not as interesting as the parts I was more familiar with, but that's just me. In my opinion the book just gets better and better as you go. In fact, my favorite parts are the last two pages of the last chapter, and the epilogue.
