Description:
In the late 19th century and early 1900s, 400 American students went to Germany for advanced studies of chemistry with the celebrated physical chemist Wilhelm Ostwald.
The students, with their Ph.D.s from the University of Leipzig, returned to the United States with skills and ideas that greatly helped the nation become a leader in science and technology.
This book emphasizes their research, experimental techniques and careers. Closely associated with Ostwald were Arrhenius, van't Hoff and Nernst -- all would receive Nobel Prizes.
