This
book tells the story of two of the most important figures in the
history of chemistry. Carl Wilhelm Scheele (1742-1786) was the first to
prepare oxygen and realise that air is a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen;
he also discovered many important organic and inorganic substances. His
fellow chemist and good friend, Torbern Bergman (1735-1784), was one of
the pioneers in analytical and physical chemistry. In this carefully
researched biography, the author, Anders Lennartson, explains the
chemistry of Scheele and Bergman while putting their discoveries in the
context of other 18th-century chemistry. Much of the information
contained in this work is available in English for the first time.
