 | Distilling Knowledge: Alchemy, Chemistry, and the Scientific Revolution (New Histories of Science, Technology, and Medicine) (Updated Edition) by Bruce T. Moran, Bt Moran Paperback, 224 Pages, Published 2006 ISBN-10: 0-674-02249-1 / 0674022491 ISBN-13: 978-0-674-02249-2 / 9780674022492 Alchemy can't be science--common sense tells us as much. But perhaps common sense is not the best measure of what science is, or was. In this book, Bruce Moran looks past contemporary assumptions and prejudices to determine what alchemists were actually doing in the context of early modern science. | |
