Description
From Alchemy to Chemistry"Chemistry, in particular, is capable, when suitably presented, of making a strong appeal to the intelligence and the imagination; for, as the following pages are intended to show, it is the most romantic of all the branches of science; and in its variegated history, stretching back through unnumbered generations of alchemists into an indefinite past, its present votaries have (if they but knew) a richly human and humanistic heritage." from the
"Chemistry, in particular, is capable, when suitably presented, of making a strong appeal to the intelligence and the imagination; for, as the following pages are intended to show, it is the most romantic of all the branches of science; and in its variegated history, stretching back through unnumbered generations of alchemists into an indefinite past, its present votaries have (if they but knew) a richly human and humanistic heritage." -- from the PrefaceWritten for the layman, this accessible history takes a broad, humanistic perspective, eschewing chemical equations and formulae. Instead it concentrates on the great figures of chemistry and the ideas that revolutionized the science, from earliest history to the modern era.
Much of the book is devoted to alchemy and such topics as the philosopher's stone, alchemical crypticism and symbolism, pseudo-alchemists, Paracelsus, and the "swan song" of alchemy as the scientific revolution took hold. In the final chapters, the author takes up the development of modern chemistry, including atomic theory, the nature of the elements, the beginning of organic chemistry, and more. Broad in scope, erudite yet readable, this rich and absorbing narrative will appeal to anyone interested in the long and colorful history of chemical science. Glossary. 50 illustrations.

Good Product, Works Well Even Without Much Foam
Item form: Tablet
These Bastion garbage disposal cleaner tablets are effective and easy to use. They don’t generate as much foam as advertised, so if you’re expecting a big foaming action, you may be a little underwhelmed. That said, they still do the job well—the disposal smells fresher, and the citrus scent is clean without being overpowering.
Overall, a good product that keeps the sink area smelling nice. I’d give it 4 stars mainly because of the low foam, but it’s still a solid buy.

It’s okay
Item form: Tablet
Product says “deodorizes” so I thought it would leave a clean lemony smell, but it does not. Sometimes it foams other times it doesn’t but based on the description that’s normal?
