A History of the Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry [Hardcover]

`Its appearance is a most welcome sign of a return to real history of chemistry, impressively documented and fully alert to the chemical as well as the social elements of such history.' AMBIX, 33:1 (1986)
`Apart from being an essential document for the history of organic chemistry, this book puts in light all the difficulties encountered in developing internationally agreed nomenclature rules and may therefore help to accomplish further progress in this field.' Chemistry in Britain (1986)
