Description: "The Chemists and The Word: The Didactic Origins of Chemistry" is a 166 page, 6.25"x9" hardcover written by Owen Hannaway and published in 1975 by The John Hopkins University Press. From the flap: "The Chemists and The Word explores the origins of chemistry as a distinctive scholarly discipline. The techniques and practice that gave rise to chemistry had ancient roots in the many activities and crafts by which man sought to transform material species for his own ends.... When was it perceived...that the operations and knowledge derived from these diverse activities were related and could be formed into a coherent and integral body of knowledge worthy of pursuit for its own sake? Hannaway identifies the origins of chemistry with the appearance of Andreas Libavius's textbook, the Alchemia, in 1597...." The book is in very good condition. The dust jacket has a tiny nick along the front flap edge, light wear at the spine ends and edges. The burgundy cloth boards have a couple of small spots of wear on the back. The previous owner's name is stamped on the ffep. The binding is firm. International Buyers – Please Note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost.
