Card Chemistry


Book Description

“Know Thy Self” was the Ancient Greek aphorism inscribed in the forecourt of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi. If this maxim deserves the importance ascribed to it over the centuries, then the Ancient Science of the Cards is surely of great potential significance, for it can vastly aid us in understanding ourselves, as well as our relations with others. Apart from our basic need for food, shelter, and sustenance, our most consuming preoccupation is our relations with our fellow human beings. We're concerned with how we can get along better with others, how we can tell which people are trustworthy, with whom we can form productive relationships or conduct business negotiations, and to whom we can entrust our health and finances. We're particularly interested in finding the perfect mate and other questions that hinge on our “chemistry” or compatibility with other people. The Ancient Science of the Cards can answer many of these questions at a glance, with just a few arithmetical calculations and a bit of interpretation.Stefan G. Meyer has intensively studied the methods of Robert Lee Camp and Iain McLaren-Owens, two of the foremost authorities on this metaphysical system, and has synthesized both of their approaches in order to come up with a method of understanding relationships that almost anyone can easily understand and practice. He offers a step-by-step approach to the basic system, as well as detailed methods, step-by-step instructions, and worksheets that can be printed out and used for personal practice.

The Art of Chemistry


Book Description

A fascinating collection of the pictures, figures, and diagrams that chemists create to explain their craft In A Chemical History Tour, Arthur Greenberg took readers on a wild romp through the history of chemistry, introducing the unique characters, sometimes bizarre theories, and novel experiments that ultimately produced the modern science. Now Greenberg returns with more tales of chemistry glory, lovingly chronicling the extraordinary artwork that alchemists and chemists have produced in their pursuit of understanding the nature of matter in The Art of Chemistry: Myths, Medicines, and Materials. The Art of Chemistry employs 187 figures (including 16 full-color plates) to illuminate 72 essays on the mythical origins, wondrous experiments, and adventurous explorers in the annals of chemistry. Greenberg divides his delightful study into eight sections: Spiritual and Mythological Roots Stills, Cupels, and Weapons Medicines, Purges, and Ointments An Emerging Science Two Revolutions in France A Young Country and a Young Theory Specialization and Systemization Some Fun Each section tracks chemistry's incremental progress from myth to modern science, featuring the figures and diagrams that early chemists used to explain their craft. Along the way, readers will meet the deadly basilisk and the fabulous phoenix that populated the lore of pre-modern chemistry, learn the contributions to chemistry of the American natural philosopher Benjamin Franklin, and encounter Antoine Lavoisier, the father of modern chemistry and perhaps France's greatest economist. Greenberg also examines our fundamental connections with science through two personal essays, one on an adolescent friend who improbably (but perhaps inevitably) became a world-renowned entomology professor and the other on his quest to discover his own chemical heritage. The Art of Chemistry is sure to inform and entertain anyone interested in our eternal quest to know the natural world.

Fundamentals of Chemistry: A Modern Introduction (1966)


Book Description

Fundamentals of Chemistry: A Modern Introduction focuses on the formulas, processes, and methodologies used in the study of chemistry. The book first looks at general and historical remarks, definitions of chemical terms, and the classification of matter and states of aggregation. The text then discusses gases. Ideal gases; pressure of a gas confined by a liquid; Avogadro's Law; and Graham's Law are described. The book also discusses aggregated states of matter, atoms and molecules, chemical equations and arithmetic, thermochemistry, and chemical periodicity. The text also highlights the electronic structures of atoms. Quantization of electricity; spectra of elements; quantization of the energy of an electron associated with nucleus; the Rutherford-Bohr nuclear theory; hydrogen atom; and representation of the shapes of atomic orbitals are explained. The text also highlights the types of chemical bonds, hydrocarbons and their derivatives, intermolecular forces, solutions, and chemical equilibrium. The book focuses as well on ionic solutions, galvanic cells, and acids and bases. It also discusses the structure and basicity of hydrides and oxides. The reactivity of hydrides; charge of dispersal and basicity; effect of anionic charge; inductive effect and basicity; and preparation of acids are described. The book is a good source of information for readers wanting to study chemistry.
