“The contribution of each of these persons is described in detail, giving the reader a feeling of ‘being there’ in a living history. And what a walk it is! This is a journey that would take weeks, if not months, to complete in person. … This book is highly recommended for the lover of science—and should serve as a pleasant vicarious visit for the reader, at his leisure without the rush (and expense) of today’s travel.” (James L. Marshall, Bulletin for the History of Chemistry, Vol. 47 (3), 2022)
