160 pages~3 hr 11 min read14 chapters$4.99
Coal is far more than fuel, and Raphael Meldola unpacks the chemistry to prove it. Part of the Romance of Science series, this book traces the dyes, gases, and countless products drawn from coal, turning a black rock into a treasure chest. Lively Victorian popular chemistry. For readers who like to see the hidden riches inside ordinary things.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
