The Sceptical Chymist - Robert Boyle

First published in 1661, The Sceptical Chymist is a landmark work that challenged the traditional doctrines of alchemy and Aristotelian science. In a lively dialogue, Boyle questions the ancient idea of four elements and instead lays the foundation for modern chemistry. His arguments promote the use of experiments and careful observation over speculation and tradition. A groundbreaking classic, this book marks the birth of chemistry as a true scientific discipline.

The Sceptical Chymist is the perfect coffee table book or holiday gift for that special person in your life!
