Sinopse

In "Charles Lyell and Modern Geology," T. G. Bonney provides an in-depth analysis of Charles Lyell's transformative contributions to geology during the 19th century. Bonney artfully weaves a narrative that highlights Lyell's principles of uniformitarianism, arguing for the slow, gradual processes that shaped the Earth's surface. The book employs a meticulous literary style, combining historical context with a critical examination of Lyell's work, thus situating it within the broader scientific discourse of the time. Bonney's engaging prose ensures that readers not only grasp the scientific concepts but also appreciate their historical significance. As a prominent geologist and educator, T. G. Bonney was profoundly influenced by the scientific landscape of his era, including the debates surrounding evolution and natural science. His extensive background and personal admiration for Lyell's work propelled him to explore and elucidate the geologist's pivotal role in shaping modern geological thought. Bonney's own experiences in academia and fieldwork provide a rich framework for understanding Lyell's influence and the evolution of geological science. This book is essential for anyone interested in geology, history of science, or the foundational theories that continue to shape our understanding of the Earth. Bonney's insightful narrative not only honors Lyell's legacy but also invites readers to engage with the complexities of geological science, making it a valuable addition to both academic and personal collections.

The Secrets of Alchemy

Lawrence M. Principe

In The Secrets of Alchemy, Lawrence M. Principe, one of the world's leading authorities on the subject, brings alchemy out of the shadows and restores it to its important place in human history and culture. By surveying what alchemy was and how it began, developed, and overlapped with a range of ideas and pursuits, Principe illuminates the practice. He vividly depicts the place of alchemy during its heyday in early modern Europe, and then explores how alchemy has fit into wider views of the cosmos and humanity, touching on its enduring place in literature, fine art, theater, and religion as well as its recent acceptance as a serious subject of study for historians of science. In addition, he introduces the listener to some of the most fascinating alchemists, such as Zosimos and Basil Valentine, whose lives dot alchemy's long reign from the third century and to the present day. Through his exploration of alchemists and their times, Principe pieces together closely guarded clues from obscure and fragmented texts to reveal alchemy's secrets, and—most exciting for budding alchemists—uses them to recreate many of the most famous recipes in his lab, including those for the "glass of antimony" and "philosophers' tree." This unique approach brings the listener closer to the actual work of alchemy than any other book.
