      abstract = {This Open Access book discusses the progress of science  and the transfer of scientific knowledge to technological  application. 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.},
