Promethean Ambitions: Alchemy and the Quest to Perfect Nature
ISBN: 9780226575247 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In "Promethean Ambitions," William R. Newman uses alchemy as a means to discuss the thinning boundary between the natural and the artificial. Focusing primarily on the period between 1200 and 1700, Newman examines the labors of pioneering alchemists and the impassioned and often negative responses to their efforts. Newman also shows that alchemy was not an unformed and capricious precursor to chemistry; it was an art founded on coherent philosophical and empirical principles with vocal supporters and even louder critics that attracted individuals of first-rate intellect. The historical...

ISBN: 9780226576978 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 235 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

Tracing the alchemical roots of Robert Boyle's famous mechanical philosophy, Newman shows that alchemy contributed to the mechanization of nature, a movement that lay at the...

Gehennical Fire is the story of the man behind the myth, George Starkey. Though virtually unknown today and little...
