      abstract = {In Inventing Chemistry, historian John C. Powers turns his  attention to Herman Boerhaave (1668–1738), a Dutch  medical and chemical professor whose work reached a wide,  educated audience and became the template for chemical  knowledge in the eighteenth century. The primary focus of  this study is Boerhaave’s educational philosophy, and  Powers traces its development from Boerhaave’s early  days as a student in Leiden through his publication of the  Elementa chemiae in 1732. Powers reveals how Boerhaave  restructured and reinterpreted various practices from  diverse chemical traditions.},
