About the Book:
Chemistry, as a science, has evolved from being the mythology of materials and their transformations to a logical, sophisticated discipline. It is through these transformations that humanity learned how to create pottery, metallurgy, and herbal medicine. From the age-old search for the philosopher’s stone, which could turn base metals into gold, chemistry eventually emerged as a modern science in the late 18th century, based on rational thought and experimentation.

This book introduces ten important pioneers in the field of chemistry who contributed significantly to its development. These individuals, through their work and inquisitive nature, laid the foundation for the vast expansion of chemistry. The prominent figures featured in the book are:

• Marie Curie

• Linus Pauling

• Gilbert N. Lewis

• Michael Faraday

• Ernest Rutherford

• Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev

• Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin

• John Dalton

• Antoine Lavoisier

• Friedrich August Kekulé

The book honors their lasting contributions and highlights their role in shaping the field of chemistry. Through their immense efforts, these scientists helped chemistry evolve into the essential scientific discipline that it is today.
