MP3 Audio CD. The Story of Alchemy and the Beginnings of Chemistry CHAPTER I THE EXPLANATION OF MATERIAL CHANGES GIVEN BY THE GREEK THINKERS. For thousands of years before men had any accurate and exact knowledge of the changes of material things, they had thought about these changes, regarded them as revelations of spiritual truths, built on them theories of things in heaven and earth (and a good many things in neither), and used them in manufactures, arts, and handicrafts, especially in one very curious manufacture wherein not the thousandth fragment of a grain of the finished article was ever produced.

Muir was a scientist himself ? he was a chemist and a researcher, but he became known for his works about the history of science - and he wrote and published this book in 1902, in a period of fast and massive scientific development, only a few years after the electron had been discovered and a few years before Bohr?s model of the atom revolutionized not only natural sciences, but philosophy as well.Two of the main goals of alchemists were to discover a method with the help of which they could transform base metals into gold and to find out how they could create a human being among laboratory circumstances. These quests became the obsession of some of the finest scientists ever since the Middle Ages, making them carry out secret experiments in dark and secret places and often putting themselves in grave dangers. The book is written in an… Read More
