It also identifies the factors necessary to achieve this progress. Based on a case study of the physical chemist Fritz Haber's discovery of ammonia synthesis between 1903 and 1909, the book places Haber's work in historical and scientific (physicochemical) context. The scientific developments of the preceding century are framed in a way that emphasizes the confluence of knowledge needed for Haber's success. Against this background, Haber's work is presented in detail along with the indispensable contributions of his colleague, the physical chemist, Walter Nernst, and their assistants. The detailed accounts of scientific advancement remind us of the physical basis on which our scientific theories and ideas are built. Without this reminder we often forget how complex, and how beautiful achievements in science can be. 517 $aMaking Ammonia 606 $aHistory of science$2bicssc 606 $aPhysical chemistry$2bicssc 610 $aFritz Haber 610 $aAmmonia Synthesis 610 $aScientific Discovery 610 $aTechnological Innovation 610 $aPhysical Chemistry 610 $aTheory of Scientific Progress 610 $aThe challenge of technical Implementation 615 7$aHistory of science 615 7$aPhysical chemistry 686 $aSCI013050$aSCI034000$2bisacsh 700 $aJohnson$b Benjamin$01239433 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910567788903321 996 $aMaking Ammonia$92875837 997 $aUNINA
