Focusing on the crises and conflicts of early modern chemistry (and their retrospectively labeled 'losing' parties), the author traces patterns of continuity in matter theory and experimental method from Boyle to Lavoisier, and reevaluates the disciplinary relationship 410 0$aScience, technology, and culture, 1700-1945. 606 $aChemistry$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aScience, Renaissance 615 0$aChemistry$xHistory 615 0$aScience, Renaissance. 676 $a540.9/033 700 $aBoantza$b Victor D.$0946612 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786951703321 996 $aMatter and method in the long chemical revolution$93755599 997 $aUNINA
