The story of chemistry : from the periodic table to nanotechnology / Anne Rooney. by Rooney, Anne. London : Sirius Publishing, 2017. Subjects Chemistry -- History -- Popular works. ISBN:  9781788283809 (hardcover) : 1788283805 (hardcover) Description:  208 p. : ill. (some col.) ; 23 cm. Requests:  0 Summary:  "Great advances in human history have often rested on and prompted progress in chemistry. The exploitation of fire, the development of pigments, and the discovery that metals could be smelted and worked laid the foundations of civilization. The search for better tools and weapons drove metallurgy, and the need for medicines and perfumes lay behind the first laboratories. This book traces a story of exploration and discovery, from the earliest applications of chemistry by our ancient forebears. For more than 1,000 years, alchemists pursued the transformation of matter until the advent of modern chemistry in the 17th century set us on the path to the complex science of today. Topics include: prechemistry since prehistory; alchemy and the transmutation of metals; the rise of the scientific method; identifying the chemical elements; understanding gases; the nature of the atom; organic chemistry; chemical analysis."--Publisher description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Ewa Beach P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 540.9 Ro Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 540.9 Ro Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 540.9 Ro Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Nonfiction 540.9 Ro Lost 01/16/2020 Add Copy to MyList
