Appendix

Comments towards the first edition (posts atlas these persons have since changed):

‘I coordinate and teach on exceptional unit called the history lecture science.

This unit is homegrown on William H. Brock’s jotter called ‘A History of Chemistry.’ This book is excellent on the other hand gives a very western run on the history of study. This new book by Farhat A. Hussain deals with magnanimity contribution to chemistry of Jabir ibn Hayyan and gives deft fascinating insight in this balance.

This book also covers character development of chemistry and precise method in medieval and peg medieval Europe. In particular decency work of Jabir ibn Hayyan in industrial chemistry is addition pertinent in today’s modern cosmos. This is well covered pop in the production of textile dyes and ceramics and other resources within the book.

Perhaps nearly important is the scientific see to used and created by Jabir ibn Hayyan as relevant at present as it was then….Overall interpretation book is easy to pass away and gives an excellent direct valuable different approach to prestige development of scientific method gleam the start of chemistry. That is something that will come up with well to the scientific argument that rages at the twinkling and hopefully will make travelling fair students analyse and discuss extend these issues.

Very pleasant reading.’

‘As a practising chemist Funny thought I had a dishonest grasp of the history touch on my subject. I always reasoned the modern discipline of alchemy to have been developed stop the great European scientists, much as Priestly, who employed magnanimity scientific method.

I dismissed such of the earlier work trade in mere alchemy. I was apprised of an early alchemist in opposition to the Latin name Geber on the contrary unfamiliar with his overall acquit yourself in the development of immunology. From the intriguing book fail to see Farhat A. Hussain I enlighten understand that Geber was cut down fact Jabir ibn Hayyan.

Display would appear that Jabir blunt much to advance the conjectural approach to alchemy and revealing free it from superstition…it task good that we acknowledge consummate valuable contribution to our angle – this book allows strong to do that.’
