Classic Chemistry Book - Free Online Via U Cal Press

Posted at 8:58 in Chemistry and E-Books and Resources.

George Porter notes the following on CHMINF-L:

University of California Press, following the pioneering lead of the National Academy Press, has released 400+ books for public consumption. I've mentioned both of these excellent resources in the past. What sparked my interest today was a citation to an outstanding treatise on the evolution/revolution of scientific thought and understanding.

Rocke, Alan J. The Quiet Revolution: Hermann Kolbe and the Science of
Organic Chemistry
. Berkeley: University of California Press, c1993.
