Description
This comprehensive index of persons covers the 15 autobiographies by world-renowned, outstanding chemists published between 2021 and 2025.
It enables simultaneous access to all volumes, making cross-cutting scientific and personal connections visible. For each individual, a simple code indicates in which autobiographies that person is mentioned. In this way, a total of 4,234 pages and 3,095 illustrations across the autobiography series are interconnected, quickly searchable, and easy to grasp at a glance.
The index is supplemented by the richly illustrated tables of contents for all works.
If you notice any errors or inconsistencies while using this index, we would appreciate a brief email to mbarth@l-i-c.org. Thank you.
