From ancient philosophy through medieval alchemy to the splitting of the atom, this is the true story of the birth of chemistry and the role of one man's dream.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780312262044\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Silk Road Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51757479657773,"sku":"FBA_N_AM_6518","price":23.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/5853\/5981\/files\/51AxztgLVTL.jpg?v=1768489627","url":"https:\/\/silkroadstore.us\/products\/mendeleyevs-dream-the-quest-for-the-elements","provider":"Silk Road Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
