A fresh start has been made by Samuel Allen and Edwin Thomas of MIT, with The Structure of Materials (1998), the first of a new MIT series on materials. The authors say that our text looks at one aspect of our field, the structure of materials, and attempts to define and present it in a generic, materials catholic way. They have succeeded, better than others, in integrating some crucial ideas concerning polymers into mainline materials science.

Andre-Marie Ampere was born m Lyons, France, the son of a wealthy merchant. Ampere s education was determined by his father, Jean-Jacques, who followed Jean Jacques Rousseau s theories of education. Ampere was left to educate himself, as his inclinations dictated, among the books of his father s extensive library. At an early age Ampere discovered a talent for mathematics, working out the early books of Euclid by himself. On finding that some of the books he wished to consult in the librai y in Lyons were in Latin, he taught himself the language. Ampere s mother was a devout Catholic, who ensured he was thoroughly instructed in the faith.

Some Paracelsian alchemists, especially Heinrich Khun rath (ca. 1560-1605) and Stefan Michelspacher (active ca. 1615-23), were objects of persecution on the part of hoth Lutheran and Catholic authorities. Khunrath was an alchemist from Saxony, the heartland of the Reformation, but his theological stance was characteristic of the second generation of Protestants who felt that Luther s work had been left incomplete and that another religious reform was essential. In Khunrath s ideas this would take the form of a Lutheranism that could accommodate an autonomous personal piety. To express their Lutheran piety intellectually the alchemists employed the terms of Paracelsian theosophy, while they found an emotive outlet in the mystical experience of the power and grace of the Holy Spirit. They felt themselves to be inspired (literally breathed ) by the Spirit, a force that they identified with alchemical pneuma. Khunrath called himself an enthusiast, hlled with the presence of the divine. 

One important reason for the emergence of Paracelsian alchemical illustration may have been its function as a psychological compensation for the rejection of Catholic imagery by the Protestants and the resulting spiritual and emotional insecurity experienced by many of the faithful. It is not merely coincidental that Paracelsian iconography should appear in Protestant areas where traditional Catholic icons had been destroyed. (The development of a specihcally Catholic interest in alchemy, however, was a phenomenon of the mid-seventeenth century developed in the work of Athanasius Kircher and other Jesuits.) ... 

Yet, despite their rejection of the iconic type of Catholic image, Luther and his followers permitted other types of religious pictures to be retained, namely, those using an archaic pictorial style developed... 

In a manner comparable to Christian eschatology, alchemical literature insisted on its own purificatory rituals that involved the preliminary torture, death and dismemberment of the prima materia. The canonical Catholic depiction of Christ s sacrificed body was a primary source for sixteenth and seventeenth century illustrations of the tortured body in anatomical and alchemical publications. In eflfect, the practice of Paracelsian alchemical medicine and surgery had a sacramental connotation, since the physician acted on the human body in the same manner as God worked on the great universal Macrocosmic Body. In like manner, the Paracelsian physician introduced the universal panacea, a liquid form of the philosopher s stone, into the alchemical alembic that was the Microcosmic human body. This alchemical medicine was permeated with the starry virtues of the heavens and the grace of Christ s Spirit, redeeming the body and soul of the patient by granting him not only an extended life on earth, but even eternal salvation. 

For a Catholic perspective on the dogma of Christ s sacrifice Daly, Ortons of the Christian Doctrine of Sacrifice (1978), 53 IT. Also, for the history of the sacraments of sacrifice and baptism in pagan and Christian rites, specifically the mass and baptism, see E. O. James, Sacrfice and Sacrament (London Thames and Hudson, 1962), 13-27, 104-25, 213-59. 

The rite of the Catholic mass is explained in Joseph A. Jungmann, The Mass of the Roman Rite Its Origins and development (New York/Boston Benziger Bros., 1955), vol. 2, 186-237 and also in James, Saerifice and Saerament (1962), 104-25, 213-59. This is the analysis of Jung, Psychology and Alehemy (1993), 489. 

The Catholic dogma is discussed in Daly, Origins of the Christian Doetrine of Saerfee (1978), 53 ff and also in James, Sacrifice and Saerament (1962), 104-25, 213-59.

Like other Lutheran Spirituals such as Arndt, Franckenherg speaks in Pauline terms of the old natural and carnal man, who must be put off and crucified. Antichrist is the Reason of the Old Blind Fleshly Birth. The theological arguments aimed against the Roman Catholics are based on reason and on individual interpretations of the Scriptures. Their exponents have to be awakened to the guidance of the spirit, the Mind of Christ and to Christ himself within you. ...
