A good overview of the history of the development of the chemical industry. I include part of this information in my High School Chemistry classes to give the students some historical perspective of the science. Nice to have a good chunk of it in one reference.

This is a very interesting book. It would be much more useful if it included an index for chemicals, too, and not just for people and companies. If it had an index for the chemicals, it would be very useful for undergraduate assignments and use. Maybe a searchable e-book would get around this deficit.

An excellent book for those wishing to understand how the chemical industry evolved.
My father was a chemist and worked for dupont-this reminds me of his many stories he told me. Although, I'm not a scientist , I did work in a chemical plant and purchased many of these products . Sadly, many of these products are no longer
made in the USA and all of those high-paying jobs have gone overseas.
I'm a little biased since I live in Wilmington,Delaware- home to many chemcial & pharma compaines. Chemicals demand respect and proper care or accidents will happen.
