Commonly described as the “central science”, chemistry and the chemical arts have
an extremely long history that is deeply intertwined with a wide variety of other
historical subjects. Perspectives on the History of Chemistry is a book series that
presents historical subjects covering all aspects of chemistry, alchemy, and
chemical technology.
Potential topics might include:
• An updated account or review of an important historical topic of broad interest
• Biographies of prominent scientists, alchemists, or chemical practitioners
• Translations and/or analysis of foundational works in the development of
chemical thought
The series aims to provide volumes that advance the historical knowledge of
chemistry and its practice, while also remaining accessible to both scientists and
formal historians of science. Volumes should thus be of broad interest to the greater
chemical community, while still retaining a high level of historical scholarship. All
titles should be presented with the aim of reaching a wide audience consisting of
scientists, chemists, chemist-historians, and science historians.
All titles in the book series will be peer reviewed. Titles will be published as both
printed books and as eBooks. Both solicited and unsolicited manuscripts are
considered for publication in this series.
