Working Bibliography
This history has only scratched the surface of a vast, varied, and
interesting history concerning chemical engineering, applied
chemistry, and chemical technology. Below is a sampling of some works
on this subject. If you are interested in reading more I recommend:
1) Isaic Asimov
who discusses the future of chemical engineering (and why not, he wrote
about everything else!)
2) John Servos
who does an excellent job examining the beginnings at MIT (all programs
should have such a detailed and well written exploration of their past!)
3) William Walker
who discusses the "modern" (1911) alchemists in industry who keep their
discoveries to themselves (some things never change!)
4) Terry Reynolds
who describes the scene in the American industry, at the turn of the century,
that helped chemical engineers gain prominence and prestige (hopefully to
never be lost).
