Chemical Sciences in the 20th Century: Bridging Boundaries, edited by Carsten Reinhardt with a foreword by Roald Hoffmann, is a scholarly exploration of the remarkable growth and diversification of chemistry during the last century. Drawing on case studies and broad surveys, the book highlights revolutionary developments across fields such as organic, theoretical, nuclear, cosmochemical, solid-state, and biotechnological chemistry. It examines how chemistry expanded beyond its traditional boundaries, intertwining with physics, biology, mathematics, and technology, and how national research cultures and industry collaborations shaped its evolution. Featuring contributions from historians and practicing scientists, this volume offers both technical insight and context, making it a vital resource for historians of science and chemists curious about the discipline’s modern development.
