From the Molecular World - A Nineteenth-Century Science Fantasy (Paperback, annotated edition): Alan J Rocke From the Molecular World - A Nineteenth-Century Science Fantasy (Paperback, annotated edition)
Alan J Rocke; As told to Hermann Kopp

Hermann Kopp (1817 1892) is best remembered today as a historian of chemistry, but during his lifetime he was one of the most eminent chemists of his day, and one of the earliest pioneers of physical chemistry. Late in his career he wrote an endearing fantasy about personified molecules. Published in 1882, Aus der Molecular-Welt (From the Molecular World) portrayed the intimate details of what might actually be happening in the sub-microscopic world; the atoms and molecules we meet there have agency, personalities, sometimes even dialog. Filled with appealing tropes, humor, and whimsical asides, Kopp s short book provided an examination of the chemistry and physics of his day that was always light-hearted on the surface, but often surprisingly profound. Properly interpreted, the book provides a revealing tour of nineteenth-century debates concerning chemical theory. It is here translated into English, richly annotated, and equipped with an illuminating preface by a leading historian of chemistry. It provides entertaining reading to practicing chemists, as well as new insights to historians of science."

Dieser Band stellt die grundlegenden Beitrage von Lothar Meyer im Zusammenhang mit seiner Entdeckung des Periodensystems vor, die zwar fast zeitgleich, aber unabhangig der von Dmitrij I. Mendeleev erfolgte. Dafur wurden folgende Texte ausgewahlt: Die modernen Theorien der Chemie und ihre Bedeutung fur die chemische Statik. 1. Auflage (1864); Annalen der Chemie und Pharmacie, VII. Supplementband (1870) und Auszuge aus der zweiten Auflage des Werkes Die modernen Theorien der Chemie und ihre Bedeutung fur die chemische Statik (1872). Anhand dieser Texte zeigen die Kommentatoren Meyers Weg zur Erkenntnis der Periodizitat der Eigenschaften der Elemente und deren Anordnung in einer Tafel und in einem Graphen. Im einfuhrenden Kommentar stellen sie neben der Biographie von Meyer viele Details zum physikochemischen Hintergrund und zu Veranderungen in den chemischen Theorien der 1860er- und in den fruhen 1870er-Jahren zusammen.
