Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good+. Second Edition with Considerable Additions. Hardcover. Formerly owned by Oliver Sacks (unsigned). Samuel Parkes (1761-1825) was a British manufacturing chemist, now remembered for his Chemical Catechism. The Chemical Catechism includes poetical descriptions of chemical processes. Here is his description of plant respiration: "Thus while the vegetable tribes inhale The limpid water from the parent vale, Their veget To blend it with the carbon of the soil, And form bitumen, resin, wax, or oil:, The free'd caloric bursts the expanding mass, And swells the nascent oxygen to gas; Which, from its inmost cells, each leaflet pours In viral currents through its myriad pores, To renovate the air, by tempests hurl'd From pole to pole, around a freshen'd world." From the library of Dr. Oliver Sacks, the renowned neurologist, author, and educator. He was, in his life, celebrated for his contributions to the understanding of the human brain and his ability to communicate complex scientific concepts to a broader audience.
