The Age of Alchemy The Secret History of Chemistry from Ancient Magic to Modern Science [#1031483]
The Age of Alchemy
by Kit Chapman;
English | 2026 | ISBN: 1778404170 | 320 pages | True EPUB | 1.75 MB
For readers of Sam Kean and Bill Bryson, The Age of Alchemy uncovers a vibrant, interconnected world of forgotten artisans, scholars, and experimenters who, across millennia and continents, transformed mystical alchemy into modern chemistry.
"Timely and essential, this is great storytelling."-Hugh Aldersey-Williams, bestselling author of Periodic Tales
3,000 years ago, on the banks of the Tigris in what is now known as Iraq, a woman perfumer named Tappūtī mastered the control of temperature and the arts of distillation, calcination, condensation, filtering, purification, fixation, and sublimation, unknowingly staking her claim as the first chemist in history.
From Egyptian tombs and the dazzling workshops of Alexandria to Chinese emperors seeking immortality, The Age of Alchemy uncovers the hidden roots of alchemy and its transformation into chemistry. Kit Chapman brings to life forgotten innovators-women alchemists, artisan experimenters, and ingenious fraudsters-while challenging Eurocentric myths and celebrating the diverse cultures that forged our understanding of matter.
Blending vivid storytelling, forgotten history, and fascinating science, the book explores the meaning and impact of chemical knowledge-its power to heal, to harm, and to transform societies. It explores how alchemists inspired modern medicine, how the search for immortality led to both lethal elixirs and life‑saving antimalarials, how pigments and alloys reshaped economies and empires, and how the old dream of transmuting metals was finally realized in nuclear physics. The Age of Alchemy invites readers to see chemistry not as a dry catalogue of formulas, but as a four‑thousand‑year human drama of curiosity, ambition, ingenuity, and resilience-a global story of how we learned to understand and manipulate the material world.
