This "History of Chemistry" reminds me of a friend of mine who is also very interested in chemistry and has been studying ceramic technology. This book tells about the development of chemistry, especially the pottery making process in ancient my country, which resonates with me very much. Just like what is said in the book, "Certain clays are easier to shape, and the shaped blanks become very hard after baking." This is not only a description of chemical knowledge, but also a praise of our country's traditional craftsmanship. Recommended to friends who are interested in chemistry and history.
