The book starts off with our beginning and the unlikely usage of chemistry in pre-historic times. Our ancestors were more then likely concer

There are many more notable discoveries but in my opinion these are the ones that are remarkable and truly furthered the science of chemistry.

ned primarily with staying alive. Certain things are needed to do that, like food, shelter, energy, and drink. Once those needs were meet our Neanderthal brethren made some archaicaly beautiful cave paintings. In doing so they applied chemistry in a whole new way, to benefit their lives. In time chemistry became an integral part of society, today we have used it to stretch our lives out by more then forty percent of what it would have been in the start of the century by the use of medicine. Later on in recordable history chemistry was implemented through rusty trial and error methods which allowed many things to be created such as Bronze in 3600 BC or glass in 2500 BC. But it wasn't until the age of Greek philosophers that the question of these materials components, or made them exist. After many theories by many different people a man named Leucippus came up with the idea that all things were made up of indivisible, small particles. Although we now know that that was the correct theory the age of alchemy started and didn't slow down until after medieval times. The next remarkable step was taken by Robert Boyle a British chemist who defined and coined the term "elements" as "pure substance, which resists all ordinary attempts at decomposition." His assistant Robert Hooke also made some profound movements; he invented the first compound microscope. Using it he also was able to look at and theorize the idea of "cells." Although Boyle did define elements the credit of being the father of chemistry is given to Dmitri Mendeleev, who not only formulated the periodic law but also created the periodic table of elements. Sir Joesph John Thomson then proposed the idea of protons in atoms, followed by Sir Ernest Rutherfords Nuclear theory with an atom proton. Eventually all the elements that we have today were discovered and put into place on the periodic table giving us today's modern chemistry. In the beginning of this century a very small enterprising community had begun commercial chemical operations. The chemical world slowly picked up speed and eventually blossomed into what it is today.

So "Your Chemical World" has now demonstrated the inviolability of it's products, the next logical question one may ask is where did the raw materials that were used to make things like my car or refrigerator? Well the answer to that is you are standing on it. Earth. The terrestrial bosom that we sprouted from also kicked out some things to help us. Through the combination of earth, water, air, and plant and animal matter many new things were created far beneath the reaches of man. We dig petroleum out of the earth and turn it into rubber, gas for or car. We get coal from compressed animal and plant matter and then use it for energy. We dig up numerous others too like silicon or sulfur. The point is though that everything we have we fashioned from the raw earth.
