A propos de cet article

VIII, (3), 112 pages. Brown original cloth and an illustrated dustjacket. 23x14 cm This. annotated bibliography lists Davy's published writings that appeared during his lifetime and posthumously. Translations of Davy's papers and reports of his experimental findings printed prior to the official versions are included. Critical reviews in journals not exclusively devoted to scientific subjects have also been catalogued. These translations, reports, and reviews, which frequently forced Davy to further publication, round out the history of his publishing. Through a guide to the location of the first reports of Davy's papers, it is possible to trace the diffusion of scientific news and its reception on the Continent. Mrs. Fullmer indicates the accuracy of the translations and shows how the changes made by continental editors often distorted Davy's views, and acerbated a scientific atmosphere already ripe with controversy. Sir Humphry Davy (mitunter falsch Humphrey" geschrieben) (* 17. Dezember 1778 in Penzance, Cornwall, England; 29. Mai 1829 in Genf) war ein englischer Chemiker. Von 1802 bis 1812 wirkte er als Professor für Chemie an der Royal Institution in London. Durch Elektrolyse geschmolzener Alkalien gelang es ihm erstmals, die Elemente Natrium, Kalium, Barium, Strontium, Calcium und Magnesium darzustellen. Davy erkannte das Chlor als Element. Er gab als Voraussetzung für Säuren das Vorhandensein von Wasserstoff an. Er gehörte damit zu den Wegbereitern der modernen Elektrochemie. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 400.
