Summary: "Heroes of Science: Chemists" by M. M. Pattison Muir is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work focuses on the development of chemistry from its early, indistinct roots in alchemy to its establishment as a science, highlighting key figures whose contributions shaped the field. Through selected biographies, the book illustrates not only the scientific advancements but also the personal lives and characteristics of notable chemists. The opening of the book presents the author's intent to outline the progression of chemistry, emphasizing the shift from vague understandings to accurate scientific principles. Muir discusses the early practitioners who engaged in what could be considered a rudimentary form of chemistry and traces the evolution of thought leading to the invaluable inductive method championed by figures such as Black, Priestley, and Lavoisier. The text introduces the theme of intertwining science and the lives of pivotal chemists, setting the stage for an exploration of how these individuals contributed to the broader understanding of natural phenomena.
