Shifting And Rearranging: Physical Methods And the
Transformation of Modern Chemistry
by Carsten Reinhardt
"This book presents Carsten Reinhardt’s view of the
profound transformation of chemistry, especially organic
chemistry, that was effected by the incorporation of
physical methods into the chemists working tool-kit. The
focus is on events that occurred in the time period from
the 1940s to the present day. A treatment of this topic
requires attention not only to the contributions of the
chemical community itself, but also to those of industrial
instrument manufacturers, academic institutions, and
government granting agencies.
[...] For those who want broader coverage, Reinhardt has
provided a carefully chosen set of references to the works
of other historians on other fields of instrumentation."

Thanks for pointing this out. I can’t afford the book, but maybe in a
decade Amazon will be selling it for 37 cents. I’ll take a look at it
next time I’m in a good library.
I almost didn’t see this posting. It wasn’t listed in the threads that
I had started.
