Acknowledgements
I would first and foremost like to thank the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at North Dakota State University (NDSU) for supporting my continuing efforts in the history of chemistry. In addition, I need to acknowledge the American Chemical Society’s Division of the History of Chemistry (HIST) in providing the environment and encouragement which allowed the development of my initial historical interests into my current active research and contributions in the history of science. I also must acknowledge the Australian-American Fulbright Commission who supported my stay at the University of Newcastle as a Fulbright senior scholar for the spring of 2018, during which large sections of the current volume were written. The strength of this particular volume was due to the contributions of a number of friends an
