More recently, Robert A. Nelson s collection, Adept Alchemy (1998), continues to assert alchemy s scientific validity and its relationship to modem atomic science. Nelson s anthology intends to help alchemists working in the so-called dry path to transmutation. It includes extracts and summaries of work from the Middle Ages through the late twentieth century by Hermetic alchemists, chemists, and physicists, including the 1980 transmutation of bismuth into gold by scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley lab. (Nelson also includes the more controversial methods of Joe Champion in the 1990s. Champion was convicted of fraud in Arizona because he had not produced the results he claimed for investors.) Across the century, then, followers of occult alchemy have clearly continued to make connections to modern atomic science.

There are several people I wish to thank for help in bringing this work to completion. I am deeply indebted to Dr. Robert H. Hunt in ways too numerous to mention. Many enlightening discussions were held with Bob Hunt and Pete Jansson on the subject of Chapters 9 and 10. Their knowledge and expertise were invaluable. I also appreciate their proofreading the initial drafts. To acknowledge others whose peripheral support was very helpful, I would certainly have to mention Clydeyne Nelson, Ken Ford, Beverly, my wife, as well as many others in the Physics Department at Florida State University. 

The author expresses his appreciation to Robert D. Nelson for his help in the preparation of this report. 

Last but not least, we could write this book because we enjoyed countless interactions with other scientists and engineers who shaped our view of the field of biocatalysis. A representative, but certainly not exhaustive, list of these individuals, besides those already mentioned above, includes Frances Arnold, Uwe Bomscheuer, Stefan Buchholz, Mark Burk, Robert DiCosimo, David Dodds, Franz Effenberger, Uwe Eichhorn, Wolfgang Estler, Andreas Fischer, Tomas Hudlicky, Hans-Dieter Jakubke, Andreas Karau, Alexander Klibanov, Andreas liese, Oliver May, Jeffrey Moore, Rainer Muller, Mark Nelson, David Rozzell, Roger Sheldon, Christoph Syldatk, Stefan Verseck, and George Whitesides. We thank all of them for their contribution to our view of the field.
