We are pleased to announce a double book launch event, to celebrate the publication of two books by distinguished and long-serving historians of science and chemistry. Thomas Garnett: Science, Medicine, Mobility in Eighteenth-Century Britain (Bloomsbury) by Robert Fox (Emeritus Professor of History of Science, Oxford) was published in February 2024. Carbon: A Biography (Polity), the English translation of Carbone. Ses vies, ses oeuvres (2018, Ed. Seuil) by Bernadette Bensaude-Vincent (Emeritus Professor Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne) and Sacha Loeve (Université Jean Moulin Lyon 3) will be published in June 2024.
This event immediately follows the first meeting of the Oxford Seminar in the History of Alchemy and Chemistry (15:00-17:00 Maison Française d’Oxford), where Bernadette will be delivering a paper entitled ‘Why a Biography of Carbon?’.
