Apparatus and Experimentation Revisited

Abstract

† I have worked extensively on the history of chemistry and almost as extensively on the history of scientific instruments, with an emphasis on the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Other interests include Arctic science, Canadian science, and science and Romanticism. I have written monographs and numerous papers in each of these areas; newcomers to the history of chemistry may find it useful to look at my Transforming Matter: A History of Chemistry from Alchemy to the Buckyball (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2001).
