Through the lens of a number of different periods, the authors provide a historical analysis of the question of theory in the history of chemical practice. The consensus picture that emerges is that the history of science tells us a much more complex story about theory choice. A glimpse at scientific practice at the time shows that different, competing as well as non-competing, theories were used in the context of the scientific practice at the various times and sometimes played a pivotal pedagogical role in training the next generation of chemists. This brief brings together a history of chemical practice, and in so doing reveals that theory choice is conceptually more problematic than was originally conceived. This volume was produced as part of the Ad HOC chemistry research group hosted by University College London and University of Cambridge. 000755554 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed June 7, 2016). 000755554 650_0 $$aChemistry$$xHistory. 000755554 650_0 $$aChemistry, Physical and theoretical$$xHistory. 000755554 7001_ $$aTobin, Emma,$$eeditor. 000755554 7001_ $$aAmbrosio, Chiara,$$eeditor. 000755554 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aTobin, Emma$$tTheory Choice in the History of Chemical Practices$$dCham : Springer International Publishing,c2016$$z9783319298917 000755554 830_0 $$aSpringerBriefs in molecular science.$$pHistory of chemistry. 000755554 852__ $$bebk 000755554 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-29893-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000755554 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:755554$$pGLOBAL_SET 000755554 980__ $$aEBOOK 000755554 980__ $$aBIB 000755554 982__ $$aEbook 000755554 983__ $$aOnline 000755554 994__ $$a92$$bISE
