Reviews

“Philip Ball illuminates the history of alchemy without excluding readers at any level. Alchemy: An Illustrated History is a great accomplishment.”—Lawrence M. Principe, author of The Secrets of Alchemy “In this absorbing exploration of alchemy and alchemists, which ranges from the ancient world to the modern and from East to West, Philip Ball takes a refreshing approach to alchemy as a science and as a philosophy. It is a delight to read, with its many illustrations, concise biographies, and engaging prose.”—Owen Davies, author of Art of the Grimoire: An Illustrated History of Magic Books and Spells (Yale)
