As nylon and the plastics revolution became a part of modern life, the figure of Carothers receded tragically into the shadows. The horror of his death, the social stigma attached to mental illness and suicide, and prevailing social codes that discouraged the discussion of personal tragedies contributed to an atmosphere of secrecy that surrounded his life. As late as 1979, the Encyclopaedia Britannica credited Father Nieuwland with the discovery of Neoprene.

As for me, the bulk of my mind stimulation and mystic transport comes from the Encyclopaedia Britannica and its wonderful panoply of topics that induce neural nirvana. Writer A. J. Jacobs expresses the pleasure and shocking mind-expansion one receives from the Britannica, as he completes his quest to read all entries in alphabetical order ...

Like all other scientific concepts, that of an element has changed its meaning many times and in many ways during the development of science. Thus wrote Wilhelm Ostwald (the father of physical chemistry and a positivist philosopher) in the 1911 edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. This was a time of dramatic developments in physics and chemistry within a few years, even the most entrenched positivists were beginning to believe in the real existence of atoms and subatomic particles.

Vermouth was initially made from red wine, produced to be slightly sweet, and possess a mildly sharp after taste. However, around 1800, dry vermouth made its appearance in the Marseilles, France. In 1813, Joseph Noilly created the style that came to be known as dry or French vermouth. By 1855, Noilly s son, Louis, and his brother-in-law, Claudius Prat, were producing Noilly Prat dry vermouth in southern France. This white, wine-based, fortified drink, is now flavored with as many as 40 aromatic herbs and flavorings, such as juniper, cloves, quinine, orange peel, nutmeg, and coriander (The New Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1995). 

Newtonian ideas about chemical combination made inroads in France in the second half of the century, and affinity tables proliferated. By 1778, Mac-quer (1718—84)had decided that there were no separate laws of chemical affinity and that the law of universal attraction would suffice to explain the whole of chemistry, if only we could learn about the shape of the particles of bodies. In the same year, the second edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica asserted that all theories of affinity were conjectural, neither is it a matter of any consequence to a chemist whether they are right or wrong. Here was a recognition that the utility of a scientific theory need not depend upon its truth. Affinity tables were above all useful, in providing a summary of existing knowledge about chemical reactions as well as a tool for predicting new reactions.
