Seller's Description:
New. Alchemy Source of Chemistry and Medicine is a comprehensive book written by Charles J. Thompson that explores the history and evolution of alchemy as a precursor to modern chemistry and medicine. The book begins by tracing the origins of alchemy in ancient Egypt and Greece, and then moves on to examine the contributions of alchemists from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. The author explains how alchemists sought to transmute base metals into gold and silver, but also how they developed techniques for extracting and purifying metals, creating dyes and pigments, and producing medicines and remedies. Throughout the book, Thompson highlights the key figures and ideas that shaped alchemy, including the works of Paracelsus, Isaac Newton, and Robert Boyle. He also explores the role of alchemy in the development of modern science, including the discovery of elements and the theory of atomic structure. In addition, the book examines the influence of alchemy on various fields of medicine, from the use of herbal remedies to the development of modern pharmacology. Overall, Alchemy Source of Chemistry and Medicine provides a fascinating and informative look at the history of alchemy and its impact on modern science and medicine. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of science, chemistry, or medicine.1897.
