Antoine Lavoisier, the author of the "chemical revolution," also did much to estabish the foundations for the fields of organic chemistry and biochemistry.Here, Frederic Lawrence Holmes gives us an intimate portrait of Lavoisier's investigations, ranging over twenty years, from 1773 to 1792, on respiration, fermentation, and plant and animal matter. These studies, Holmes finds, were not simply belated applications of Lavoisier's established chemical theories, but intimately bound from the beginning to his more widely known research on combustion and calcination.

First published in 1993, this biography, first published in 1993, represents a comprehensive, accessible account of the great eighteenth-century French chemist and administrator, Antoine Lavoisier. Historians of science know Lavoisier as a founder of modern chemistry. Students of the French Revolution know him as an important financier and administrator in the final decades of the old regime and as the most famous scientist to be guillotined during the Terror. This volume devotes equal attention to the creation of his oxygen theory of combustion and to his efforts as a public administrator before and during the Revolution. Lavoisier was a historical figure of extraordinary importance. His biography illuminates the rise of modern science and the history of the French Revolution. Antoine Lavoisier provides its reader with a vivid, informed image of the man, his achievement and the tumultuous age in which he lived.

Contemporaneous illustrations trace over three hundred years of experiments and research in astronomy, mathematics, and the physical, earth, and life sciences

Un vieil adage alchimique prescrivait de rendre le fixe volatil, puis de répéter cette opération dans l’autre sens. Le fixe, ici, ce sont les faits établis par la recherche historique. Le volatil, ce sont les légendes et les préjugés qui ont si longtemps obscurci l’histoire de l’alchimie et de l’ancienne chimie. L’œuvre de Paracelse (1493-1541) marque le point de départ d’un long processus qui aboutira, un siècle et demi plus tard, à l’émergence de la chimie clairement conçue comme une discipline scientifique autonome. Pour autant, la chimie n’est pas fille de Paracelse. Elle n’est pas davantage l’aboutissement logique de l’alchimie : elle en est issue de façon indirecte, et il fallut attendre la révolution chimique de Lavoisier (1787-1789) pour la consacrer définitivement, imposant désormais la chimie aux yeux de tous comme une science incontournable dans les efforts de l’homme pour comprendre la nature. Exposer cette histoire, c’est d’abord montrer ce que fut l’alchimie médiévale. C’est ensuite exposer tous ses développements à l’époque moderne, et la façon paradoxale dont, malgré son déclin tout au long du xviiie siècle, l’alchimie résista à tous les essais de réfutation jusqu’à Lavoisier. Un ouvrage à rebours des idées reçues.

Traces the breakthrough discovery of oxygen at the end of the 1700s by a pair of rival scientists, describing how English dissenter Joseph Priestley and French aristocrat Antoine Lavoisier waged a fierce competition to solve the "riddle of air" in spite of such historical challenges as the American Revolution and the storming of the Bastille. 25,000 first printing.

The History and Philosophy of Science: A Reader brings together seminal texts from antiquity to the end of the nineteenth century and makes them accessible in one volume for the first time.With readings from Aristotle, Aquinas, Copernicus, Galileo, Descartes, Newton, Lavoisier, Linnaeus, Darwin, Faraday, and Maxwell, it analyses and discusses major classical, medieval and modern texts and figures from the natural sciences. Grouped by topic to clarify the development of methods and disciplines and the unification of theories, each section includes an introduction, suggestions for further reading and end-of-section discussion questions, allowing students to develop the skills needed to:§ read, interpret, and critically engage with central problems and ideas from the history and philosophy of science§ understand and evaluate scientific material found in a wide variety of professional and popular settings§ appreciate the social and cultural context in which scientific ideas emerge§ identify the roles that mathematics plays in scientific inquiryFeaturing primary sources in all the core scientific fields - astronomy, physics, chemistry, and the life sciences - The History and Philosophy of Science: A Reader is ideal for students looking to better understand the origins of natural science and the questions asked throughout its history. By taking a thematic approach to introduce influential assumptions, methods and answers, this reader illustrates the implications of an impressive range of values and ideas across the history and philosophy of Western science.
