8vo. xii, 373 pp. 12 illus., index. Brown cloth, dust-jacket; jacket rubbed. ISBN: 0718510860 "Russell's four-part book is well-planned and arranged-a veritable model of organization. Although not biographical in approach, much biographical data are provided wherever pertinent. The concept of valency did not spring like Pallas Athena fully armed from Zeus' forehead but gradually "underwent successive modifications and refinements as it became incorporated within the changing fabric of nineteenth-century chemical theory." The volume aptly illustrates the evolutionary nature of the theory and emphasizes the close interrelationship of the various events and discoveries involved." - ISIS vol. 63, no. 4, Dec., 1972, pp. 563-66.
