Feature
★Every day we reach for “Petri dishes,” “Pasteur pipettes,” or “Liebig condensers,” seldom realizing those names once belonged to living, breathing scientists. This book follows that forgotten trail.
★Written by Arkady Kuramshin, chemistry professor and medal-winning educator. Every case comes from first-hand lab experience or his long-running editorship at chemport.ru—authoritative yet readable.
★Plain-spoken, classroom-friendly prose; each chapter can stand alone for quick reference or course enrichment.
★Perfect companion for lab courses, museum labels, or science-club talks.
Description
• Why does a shallow circle for growing bacteria honour Julius Petri?
• How did a slim tube for eye drops become forever linked to Louis Pasteur?
• When did a once-cumbersome “Liebig condenser” earn its surname?
With no hagiography, only archives and interviews—lab notebooks, factory ledgers, chance conversations—the author reassembles a miniature history of science. The takeaway: what endures is less often the grand theory than the tiny tweak that makes routine work one millimetre easier.
