A new book by Dr. David Channell, professor of Arts and Humanities, will be part of a series from Routledge publishing, called Studies in the History of Science, Technology and Medicine. The book, about George Wilson, a Scottish chemist, should be finished by this summer and published next year. According to Channell’s research, Wilson’s textbook on chemistry sold 24,000 copies. He became the first Regius Professor of Technology at the University of Edinburg and the founding director of the Industrial Museum of Scotland. He also wrote a number of scientific biographies, a popular book on the five senses, and was a strong advocate for teaching women science.
