Preface
Despite Carl Wilhelm Scheele’s important role in the history of chemistry, surprisingly little has been written about Scheele, and especially in English.

In 2015, I published a book in Swedish called Ett kemiskt äventyr—Carl Wilhelm Scheele och hans värld (A chemical adventure— Carl Wilhelm Scheele and his world). This book was written in collaboration
