William McPherson was an American writer and journalist.
Librarian’s note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name, use William^^McPherson for American chemist and university president.
Very dared now, but a good overview of chemistry before the standard model.
This is a text from 1908 and therefore predates much of modern chemistry. However it is very interesting and has lots of detail about the production and refinement of chemicals at the beginning of the 20th century.
