Yet, despite this rapid development, the history of this scientific discipline has achieved only recently the status necessary to understand the effects of chemistry on the scientific and technological \u003cbr\u003e culture of the modern world.\u003cbr\u003e This book addresses the bridging of boundaries between chemistry and the other \"classical\" disciplines of science, physics and biology as well as the connections of chemistry to \u003cbr\u003e mathematics and technology.\u003cbr\u003e Chemical research is represented as an interconnected patchwork of scientific specialties, and this is shown by a mixture of case studies and broader overviews on the history of organic chemistry, theoretical chemistry, nuclear- and cosmochemistry, solid state chemistry, and biotechnology. All of these fields were at the center of the development of twentieth century chemistry, and the authors cover crucial topics such as the emergence of new subdisciplines and \u003cbr\u003e research fields, the science-technology relationship, and national styles of scientific work.\u003cbr\u003e This monograph represents a unique treasure trove for general historians and historians of science, while also appealing to \u003cbr\u003e those interested in the theoretical background and development of modern chemistry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Anyone seriously interested in the history of chemistry will want to read this book.
