The Fontana History of Chemistry, which draws extensively on both the author's own original research and that of other scholars world wide, is conceived as a work of synthesis. Nothing like it has been attempted in decades. Beginning with the first tentative chemical explorations where primitive technology and techniques were deployed, Dr Brock proceeds via the alchemists' futile, but frequently profitable, efforts to turn lead into gold to recount the emergence of the modern discipline of chemistry as fashioned by Boyle, Lavoisier and Dalton. He provides a particularly generous critical account of chemical developments during the last 150 years, emphasizing the roles of purity, analysis and synthesis, the exploration of reaction mechanisms, and the industrialization of chemical change, while also weighing up just how chemistry has been taught and disseminated. While brilliantly successful in explaining and exploiting chemical change, modern chemistry - in academy and factory alike - with its recondite language and symbolism and its associations with pollution and danger, prompts more fear than excitement in the uninitiated bystander. This book seeks to enlighten that bystander: to assess links between theory and practice, to reveal recurrent cycles and themes, and to encourage a heightened awareness of the human dimensions of the chemical sciences which might in turn promote a better public understanding of chemistry and the modern chemical and phamaceutical industries..

Author of: "God's Plan for a Joy Filled Life" "God's Plan for the Family" "God's Plan for a Father" "My Daily Devotional" "My Daily Devotional-Volume II" "My Daily Devotional-Volume III" "Our Kentucky Heritage" In 1954, a little known law was pushed through Congress by Lyndon B. Johnson, who later became our President, which has impacted the freedom of all Christians, more than any other law in the history of our nation. This law has resulted in silencing the churches, their leadership and their pastors, thus resulting in the moral decay of our society. Since the passage of this law we have seen the sin of abortion take the life of millions of innocent unborn babies. We have seen the sacred institution of marriage, between one man and one woman, being compromised, by the gay and lesbian community. We have seen the right of prayer being removed from our schools and our government. This law has silenced our churches and our pastors, thus resulting in the moral decay of our society. This book discusses the history of how this law came to be, where we are today, and what the future holds for our Christian nation, but most of all what we can do to reclaim our great nation for God.
