It also identifies the factors necessary to achieve this progress. Based on a case study of the physical chemist Fritz Haber's discovery of ammonia synthesis between 1903 and 1909, the book places Haber's work in historical and scientific (physicochemical) context. The scientific developments of the preceding century are framed in a way that emphasizes the confluence of knowledge needed for Haber's success. Against this background, Haber's work is presented in detail along with the indispensable contributions of his colleague, the physical chemist, Walter Nernst, and their assistants. The detailed accounts of scientific advancement remind us of the physical basis on which our scientific theories and ideas are built. Without this reminder we often forget how complex, and how beautiful achievements in science can be. 2022-05-14T04:02:02Z 2022-05-14T04:02:02Z 2022-05-13T12:18:43Z 2022 book ONIX_20220513_9783030855321_9 OCN: 1319434431 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/54417 9783030855321 https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/81663 eng open access image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg n/a n/a n/a https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/54417/1/978-3-030-85532-1.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/54417/1/978-3-030-85532-1.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/54417/1/978-3-030-85532-1.pdf Springer Nature Springer International Publishing 10.1007/978-3-030-85532-1 10.1007/978-3-030-85532-1 9fa3421d-f917-4153-b9ab-fc337c396b5a 9783030855321 Springer International Publishing 278 Cham open access
