About this product
Product Information
This is the first scientific biography of Edward Frankland, probably the most eminent chemist of nineteenth-century Britain. Frankland discovered the chemical bond and founded the science of organometallic chemistry. Russell's authoritative study of newly discovered private papers will be of great interest to chemists, historians, and general readers concerned with social history.

Reviews
'Russell's skilled handling of this material makes much of the book read like a good novel, displaying deep insights into the emotions and interactions of the characters ... at the same time ... he writes with authority on Frankland's contribution to chemistry ... a triumph ... it commands the reader's attention ... I commend it without reservation.'Fred Dainton, New Scientist, 'Edward Frankland was arguably the most important British chemist of the 19th century ... his merits have not been appreciated, nor has his story been fully told. Until now ... This impeccably researched and beautifully written book will delight and enlighten not only professional historians of science, but also chemists who wish to learn more about how their field developed.' A. J. Rocke, Chemistry in Britain, 'The full and unvarnished story of his life is told here for the first time in an eminently authoritative, meticulously documented and carefully crafted book. In spite of its enormous erudition, it is highly entertaining to read. The author has produced a work that is as near to perfection as books ever get.' Dennis H. Rouvray, Endeavour, ‘I thoroughly recommend this book to all with an interest in the history of science.’A. R. Butler, Education in Chemistry, ‘Edward Frankland was arguably the most important British chemist of the 19th century … his merits have not been appreciated, nor has his story been fully told. Until now … This impeccably researched and beautifully written book will delight and enlighten not only professional historians of science, but also chemists who wish to learn more about how their field developed.’ A. J. Rocke, Chemistry in Britain, 'Russell ... provides an overall account that can be understood and enjoyed by scientists from other disciplines, as well as by historians of science ... Such vivid details of Frankland's private life and fascinating insights into his relationships with other eminent Victorians make this a rich and rewarding read ... Frankland was undoubtedly one of Britain's most important and influential nineteenth-century scientists and it is good to see him properly honoured at last with a fine biography.'W. H. Brock, Nature, "Colin Russell's biography is significant.... Finally, on its considerable merits alone this is an important biography. It is comprehensive and well-written and reflects a lifetime's work on the life, science, and Victorian milieu of Edward Frankland." Christopher Ritter, Historical Studies in the Physical & Biological, ‘... this is a rich and rewarding biography ... It is good to see Frankland properly honoured at last.’ W. H. Brock, Chemical Heritage, ‘Russell’s thoroughly researched and meticulously documented book ... considers in engrossing and fascinating detail every aspect of Frankland’s life and career and is likely to prove to be a definitive biography. We heartily recommend it to both historians of science and chemists interested in the development of their science.’George B. Kauffman and Laurie M. Kauffman, Angewandte Chemie, 'Russell's skilled handling of this material makes much of the book read like a good novel, displaying deep insights into the emotions and interactions of the characters ... at the same time ... he writes with authority on Frankland's contribution to chemistry ... a triumph ... it commands the reader's attention ...

H. Brock, Nature, "Russell's thoroughly researched and meticulously documented book contains 52 illustrations and Frankland's original formulas along with their modern equivalents and it is methodically organized into numbered sections and subsections. He is completely objective and devoid of hero worship and states A biographer does no one a service by implying that his subject has no faults....We heartily recommend it to both historians of science and chemists interested in the development of their science." George B. Kauffman and Laura M. Kauffman, "This throughly reserached, excellent biography of an underappreciated Victorian chemist draws on newly investigated papers of the chemist and his family....His [Russell] book is well illustrated, fully referenced and indexed....Strongly recommended." H. Goldwhite, Choice, 'Russell's thoroughly researched and meticulously documented book ... considers in engrossing and fascinating detail every aspect of Frankland's life and career and is likely to prove to be a definitive biography.
