Basilius Valentinus, Monk, of the Order of St. Bennet: His Last Will and Testament. Which Being Alone, He Hid Under a Table of Marble, Behinde the High-altar of the Cathedral Church, in the Imperial City of Erford: Leaving it There to be Found by Him, Whom Gods Providence Should Make Worthy of It. Wherein, He Sufficiently, Declares the Wayes He Wrought to Obtain the Philosophers Stone: which He Taught Unto His Fellow Collegians, So that They All Attained the Said Philosophers Stone, Whereby Not Onely the Leprous Bodies of the Impure, and Inferior Metals are Reduced Unto the Pure and Perfect Body of Gold and Silver, But Also All Manner of Diseases Whatsoever are Cured in the Bodies of Unhealthfull Men, and Kept Thereby in Perfect Health Unto the Prolonging of Their Lives. A Work Long Expected

Atmospheric Chemistry
Author: Detlev Möller
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110732467
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 936
Book Description
The work in your hand contains three main chapters, covering the chemistry of the condensed phase in the atmosphere, first, the different forms of atmospheric waters (precipitation, fog and clouds, dew), and secondly dust, now mostly termed particulate matter and, more scientifically, atmospheric aerosol. A third section treats the gases in the atmosphere. An introductory chapter covers the roots of the term atmospheric chemistry in its relations to chemistry in general and biogeochemistry as the chemistry of the climate system. Furthermore, a brief overview of understanding chemical reactions in aqueous and gaseous phase is given. It is my aim to pay respect to all persons who studied the substances in the air, to those who made small, and to them who made giant contributions for the progress in atmospheric science. I’m not a historian who is able to present the past from a true perspective of their time – this also would not be my aim. If possible, however, I try to interpret the past – almost limited to experimental fi ndings in the nineteenth century – through current values, without dismissal of the problems and ideas of earlier scientists. In this way it is possible to draw some ideas on the historical chemical state of the air. Hence, I name this voyage critical. However, nowhere in this book it is my attention to express my criticism to colleagues and scientifi c ancestors. Great scientists too were subject to errors; doing science consists from the permanent loop observation, interpretation, conclusion, and again testing against new observation. If this volume can contribute more than to be “a nice story” on atmospheric chemistry, then hopefully it inspires the reader to more critical reading of scientifi c publications, and, not to forget the older one.
