The Alchemy of Air
A Jewish Genius, a Doomed Tycoon, and the Scientific Discovery That Fed the World but Fueled the Rise of Hitler
Thomas Hager
The Alchemy of Air delves into the tragic genius, cutting-edge science, and discovery that changed billions of lives, including your own. It tells the story of brilliant scientists Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch, who discovered a way to make bread out of air, built city-sized factories, and saved millions of lives. However, their triumph came at a price we are still paying, as the process was also used to make the gunpowder and explosives that killed millions during the two world wars. This previously untold story is a must-read for those interested in the intersection of science and history.
