  Although the goal of immortality was never achieved by the medieval alchemists, history itself can act as a philosopher's stone, extending our lives by enabling us to absorb the experiences and ideas of those who lived before us, and providing a better public understanding of chemistry and the chemical industry. This book draws on the author's own research as well as that of other historians of chemistry.
