This book provides an historical overview of the recent developments in the history of diverse fields within chemistry. It follows on from Recent Developments in the History of Chemistry, a volume published in 1985. Covering chiefly the last 20 years, the primary aim of Chemical History: Reviews of the Recent Literature is to familiarise newcomers to the history of chemistry with some of the more important developments in the field. Starting with a general introduction and look at the early history of chemistry, subsequent chapters go on to investigate the traditional areas of chemistry (physical, organic, inorganic) alongside analytical chemistry, physical organic chemistry, medical chemistry and biochemistry, and instruments and apparatus. Topics such as industrial chemistry and chemistry in national contexts, whilst not featuring as separate chapters, are woven throughout the content. Each chapter is written by experts and is extensively referenced to the international chemical literature. Chemical History: Reviews of the Recent Literature is also ideal for chemists who wish to become familiar with historical aspects of their work. In addition, it will appeal to a wider audience interested in the history of chemistry, as it draws together historical materials that are widely scattered throughout the chemical literature.

Excerpt from Chemical Literature and Its Use: Notes of a Course of Lectures, in Chemistry 92 Required of Third Year Students in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, University of Illinois These notes were compiled to serve as a brief guide to the increasing flood of chemical literature. They are prepared for the use of students who have a reading knowledge of French and German, and have had two years of college chemistry. Similar work might be arranged for zoology, or other branches of science where the literature is largely in serial form. The lists are in no sense exhaustive, but include the works at hand that seem most important, with special reference to the training of students-ia the use of serials and books. Each student looks up a number of problems during the year in the department library. A course, Chemistry 92, Chemical literature and its use, once a week for one year has been given to juniors in the courses in chemistry and chemical engineering, at the University of Illinois, since 1913. Valuable advice received from members of the departmental faculty has resulted in various revisions of the work. Thanks are due in particular to Dr. C. G. Derick, former assistant professor, for his initial support and counsel; and to Mr. C. S. Palmer, for helpful sug gestions and aid in reading the proofs.
