Anotace knihy

Excerpt from Smith's Intermediate Chemistry Chemistry began as a secret science. The early chemists concealed their knowledge - and more often their ignorance - under a cloak of symbols and ciphers of the most mysterious and aweinspiring sort. But now the Black Art has been opened to daylight. The modern chemist is more anxious to tell people what he knows than people are to listen to him. He still uses symbols and has a fondness for long words, but these are designed to reveal, not to conceal. Still there lingers about chemistry something of the witchery of its antiquity. It has the air of being much harder to understand than it really is. The curious structural formula of organic compounds are no more difficult to work out than a Chinese puzzle and quite as much fun. Chemistry is especially fitted to give training in the scientific method, for it is experimental from the start. Properly taught - or rather properly learned - it inculcates self-reliance and independence of thought. If the pupil will take the teacher's word for the names of things and follow the advice of the book as to what experiments to try, he can find out and think out the most important part of the science for himself. He can work out a system of analysis by testing known substances in a systematic way and then when he enters upon unknown mixtures he can attack them with the courage of self-confidence. The student of astronomy never gets a chance to handle a star, or even an asteroid. But the substances that the young chemist studies are always weighable, usually tangible, generally visible and frequently smellable. The student of geology never has the opportunity to make a mastodon and all he knows of a volcano or a geyser is the picture of it.
