Description

'Where shall we position these masterpieces of the chemical demonstrator's art? Somewhere between white magic and science. Somewhere between gripping theater and chemistry. Somewhere between circus and the Zen koan... The remarkable achievement of Herbert Roesky's and Klaus Moeckel's book is the linkage it achieves between the world of the human spirit, expressed in literature and historical continuity, and the art of chemical demonstration. One expects Goethe to move freely in the pages of 'Chemische Kabinettstucke', but Whitman, Nietzsche, Thomas Mann, Salvador Dali, Montaigne, and the prophet Jeremiah! They serve too, authentically and ingeniously, in the authors' deeply humanistic approach to science. The chemical and literary strands of this book are so ably intertwined.'
