J H Jeans

"No book in the series surpasses Eos in brilliance and profundity…"

Hermes, or the Future of Chemistry

T W Jones

"A complete and readable survey of chemical developments, making special reference to bio-chemistry, synthetic fuels, and catalysis." Manchester Guardian

"Tells us…with brilliant clarity, what chemistry and its achievements are likely to be in the future." Morning Post

Chemistry as the means of human emancipation is the subject of this book. Today chemistry is one off the master factors of our existence; tomorrow, the author argues, it will dominate every phase of life, winning for man the goal of all endeavour: economic freedom, and may also effect a startling change in man himself.
