The Definition of Chemistry from Agricola to Lavoisier Marco Beretta "...Beretta's book touches on many features of chemistry before 1800, and is a stimulating addition to the literature." David Knight, Nature "...what a relief to read a book that is really about science instead of about all sorts of ulterior sociological, political, and rhetorical considerations imputed to it." Charles C. Gillispie "...Specialists will find the author's insightful use of both scholarly literature and original sources thought provoking." E.R. Webster, CHOICE "...Beretta's book represents not only an admirable discussion of the topic announced in the title, but also a major contribution to the Lavoisier literature."
