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. 001431393 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed May 23, 2022). 001431393 60010 $$aHaber, Fritz,$$d1868-1934. 001431393 60010 $$aNernst, Walther,$$d1864-1941. 001431393 650_0 $$aAmmonia$$xHistory. 001431393 655_7 $$aHistory.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411628 001431393 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001431393 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aJohnson, Benjamin$$tMaking Ammonia$$dCham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2022$$z9783030855314 001431393 852__ $$bebk 001431393 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-85532-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.2 001431393 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1431393$$pGLOBAL_SET 001431393 980__ $$aBIB 001431393 980__ $$aEBOOK 001431393 982__ $$aEbook 001431393 983__ $$aOnline 001431393 994__ $$a92$$bISE
