Overview
Overview
Chemistry, in various ways, has been pursued in Oxford, by Oxford figures and within the wider remit of the University for centuries. This fascinating book provides a history of the development of the Oxford Chemistry School from 1600 to 2005 and shows how the nature of the University and individuals have shaped the school and advanced the subject of chemistry. It is the only complete history of Oxford chemistry in print and chronologically follows the progress of the researchers Robert Boyle, Robert Hooke and the Royal Society groups of the 1650's as well as 18th, 19th and 20th century developments. The book is not only of interest to historians and sociologists but also chemists interested in how the separate branches of chemistry - organic, physical, inorganic and biological have evolved in Oxford.
