Central to History and Philosophy of Chemistry,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The principles of chemistry (Paperback)
Mendeleev is a giant in the history of chemistry. He was largely the architect and certainly the main protagonist of the Periodic Law paradigm that has stood as the basis of Inorganic Chemistry for the last 150 years or so.
What makes this work so valuable is not only that Mendeleev makes and argues his points very clearly, but also that he updated his various Editions by footnoting the text of earlier editions rather than altering or amending it. This enables the reader not only to follow the detail of his thought processes, but also the evolution of his insights and understandings. The cover of this modern reproduction/reprint of the English translation published in 1901 does not indicate that this particular volume is Part 4 of 4 of the original work of well over 1000 pages. This is, of course, an important point for a potential purchaser, since the Amazon catalogue lists several different volumes with this particular author and title. Presumably they include the other three parts, but it would be nice to know which is which!
