Excerpt from The Life of the Universe as Conceived by Man, From the Earliest Ages, to the Present Time, Vol. 1 of 2 Haeckel possibly went too far with this state ment. The modern chemist need not know all the phantasms of the alchemists. But nobody will question that the study of the views and reasoning of past ages sheds a remarkable light on the views of our own age.

Excerpt from The Destinies of the Stars When Dr. Svante Arrhenius in the year 1903 received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry it came as a fitting reward of his achievements principally in the electro-chemical field. It was natural, however, that a genius of his calibre would not limit his interest to the "infinitely small" but would gradually broaden it to encompass the "infinitely large." And "to take an interest" means with Dr. Arrhenius to pus...

Excerpt from Quantitative Laws in Biological Chemistry The development of chemical science in the last thirty years shows a steadily increasing tendency to elucidate the nature and reactions of substances produced by living organisms. The problem has been attacked in two different ways, firstly, by the aid of the highly developed synthetic methods of organic chemistry - it will be enough to mention the brilliant work of Emil Fischer, Kossel, ...

Excerpt from Immunochemistry: The Application of the Principles of Physical Chemistry to the Study of the Biological AntibodiesIt is evident that the objection recently raised by Ehrlich and Sachs to this manner of investigation, namely, that it does not enter upon the mode by which the living body produces these so-called antibodies, is quite true. An investigation of the chemical relations of toxin and antitoxin need not carry with it an elu...

Excerpt from The Life of the Universe, Vol. 2 of 2: As Conceived by Man From the Earliest Ages to the Present Time Gravitation the force acting between two masses is proportional to their mass and inversely pro portional to the square of their distance. The intensity of the force of gravitation on the surface of the Earth was at that time known from the measurements of Galilei and Huygens. Since now the same force, in this instance, the attra...

Excerpt from Das Werden der Welten Als ich vor etwa sechs Jahren mit der Ausarbeitung meines "Lehrbuches der kosmischen Physik" beschäftigt war, konnten mir die großen Schwierigkeiten nicht entgehen, die bei den bis heute herrschenden Ansichten der Erklärung einer großen Anzahl von Phänomenen anhafteten, besonders denen, die im Zusammenhang mit kosmogonischen Fragen stehen. Ich fand, daß der bis jetzt unbeachtet gebliebene Strahlungsdruck mit...
