The Alchemy of Us: How Humans and Matter Transformed One Another by Ainissa Ramirez
informative
inspiring
medium-paced
4.75
Really interesting science history focused on material science. Ramirez had different themes—keeping time, connecting us with steel, capturing images with photography, etc.
I really appreciated learning about Black chemists I never knew before…
Ken Williams and Caroline Hunter (she was a chemist) who were Polaroid employees that led a boycott of Polaroid because of Polaroid’s involvement in apartheid
in South Africa
Pick up this book if you enjoy the history of science.
