During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Europeans raised a number of questions about the nature of reality and found their answers to be different from those that had satisfied their forebears. They discounted tales of witches, trolls, magic, and miraculous transformations and instead began looking elsewhere to explain the world around them. In The Limits of Matter, Hjalmar Fors investigates how conceptions of matter changed during the Enlightenment and pins this important change in European culture to the formation of the modern discipline of chemistry. Fors reveals how, early in the eighteenth century, chemists began to view metals no longer as the ingredients for “chrysopoeia”—or gold making—but as elemental substances, or the basic building blocks of matter. At the center of this emerging idea, argues Fors, was the Bureau of Mines of the Swedish State, which saw the practical and profitable potential of these materials in the economies of mining and smelting. By studying the chemists at the Swedish Bureau of Mines and their networks, and integrating their practices into the wider European context, Fors illustrates how they and their successors played a significant role in the development of our modern notion of matter and made a significant contribution to the modern European view of reality.

In this remarkable book, Master Djwhal Khul lays out the dimensions of the mind in a coherent presentation unlike any other available today. Whether you approach the mind from a psychological basis, a spiritual perspective, or simply want fuller disclosure of how it perceives and creates, this book will provide amazing insights. You will discover why those who have attained enlightenment all teach the critical necessity of training the mind as the only means to achieving lasting peace. In collaboration with Kathlyn Kingdon, Master Djwhal Khul reveals that the keys to happiness lie within each of us, buried beneath our conditioning and false beliefs, which we mistake for reality. Using this masterful guide, you will discover the importance of dissolving limiting emotional patterns and cutting through the web of illusion, which has held you prisoner in a cage of repeating patterns. The Matter of Mind is an inspiring and lucid treatise created to help you navigate the labyrinth of your mind and open to the experience of your enlightenment. It is hard to imagine reading this classic only once.

There are three non-mutually exclusive reasons to read this book: (i) you love science; (ii) you do science; and/or (iii) you teach science. As a teacher of general chemistry, I have found myself teaching things from modern textbooks that have been (by the year 2000) rehashed many times by generations of textbook authors and college professors. Over the years, much of the detail of history has been lost; some of the important caveats associated with the original research have been stripped away; and the material has become dogmatic.Today, it is hard to believe that in 1900 learned scholars could debate the existence of atoms and molecules. Ironically, if Albert Einstein had done nothing else, his 1905 paperOn the Movement of Small Particles Suspended in Stationary Liquids Required by the Molecular-Kinetic Theory of Heat. Annalen der Physik 17 (1905): 549-560.would have been regarded as important to proving the existence of molecules, atoms and our modern theory of thermodynamics. Modern textbooks generally do not spend much time discussing how we made this critical passage from the ignorance of 1600 to the enlightenment of 2000; and at one time, I was a strong believer that it was a waste of time to consider the history (complete with personal tribulations, priority disputes, missteps, false starts and general confusion) of scientific study. But I have come to believe that we now accept some ideas as "facts" and have not thoroughly questioned the hypotheses of renowned scientists. In this informal history (compiled largely from popular secondary sources), I am not going to deeply criticize the pathway or results that have been used to construct our modern view of matter and energy, but I did want to give the general reader (and interested student) an outline of how we got here. Hopefully, this approach will convert the pillars of modern chemistry and physics from infallible icons into imperfect people with imperfect hypotheses that we should feel free (indeed, obligated) to question and challenge. Besides that, perhaps looking at how these people came to their discoveries will suggest methods of reasoning and investigation to modern researchers.

Traditional accounts of the scientific revolution focus on such thinkers as Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton, and usually portray it as a process of steady, rational progress. There is another side to this story, and its protagonists are more likely to be women than men, dilettante aristocrats than highly educated natural philosophers. The setting is not the laboratory, but rather the literary salons of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century France, and the action takes place sometime between Europe's last great witch hunts and the emergence of the modern world.Science for a Polite Society is an intriguing reexamination of the social, cultural, and intellectual context of the origins of modern science. The elite of French society accepted science largely because of their personal involvement and fascination with the emerging philosophy of nature. Members of salon society, especially women, were avid readers of works of natural philosophy and active participants in experiments for the edification of their peers. Some of these women went on to champion the new science and played a significant role in securing its acceptance by polite society.As Geoffrey Sutton points out, the sheer entertainment value of startling displays of electricity and chemical explosions would have played an important role in persuading the skeptical. We can only imagine the effects of such drawing-room experiments on an audience that lived in a world illuminated by tallow candles. For many, leaping electrical arcs and window-rattling detonations must have been as convincing as Newton's mathematically elegant description of the motions of the planets.With the acceptance and triumph of the new science came a prestige that made it a model of what rationality should be. The Enlightenment adopted the methods of scientific thought as the model for human progress. To be an ?enlightened? thinker meant believing that the application of scientific methods could reform political and economic life, to the lasting benefit of humanity. We live with the ambiguous results of that legacy even today, although in our own century we are perhaps more impressed by the ability of science to frighten, rather than to awe and entertain.
