The Immortality of the Philosopher's Stone - Exploring Alchemy (Paperback)

An ancient practice that attempts to transmutate base metals into precious gold and elixirs of longevity or eternal life, alchemy involves the basics of inorganic chemistry and the search for the ultimate wisdom. This book explores alchemy and its history, plus the ultimate goals, the Philosopher's Stone and the Emerald Tablet. Also included are biographies on notable alchemists through the ages.Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books.
