Lavoisier in the Year One - The Birth of a New Science in an Age of Revolution (Paperback, New Ed)

Antoine Lavoisier reinvented chemistry, overthrowing the long-established principles of alchemy and inventing an entirely new terminology, one still in use by chemists. Madison Smartt Bell s enthralling narrative reads like a race to the finish line, as the very circumstances that enabled Lavoisier to secure his reputation as the father of modern chemistry a considerable fortune and social connections with the likes of Benjamin Franklin also caused his glory to be cut short by the French Revolution."
