Thirty-two of the most prominent pioneers of Chemistry are presented for the first time in an original way to the Greek audience.

Without detailed specialized information, a brief overview of their scientific work is provided, along with interesting details about their personality and career.

At the same time, one will find abundant references to material of broader interest—political climate, education, applications of discoveries, scientific developments, and even literary excerpts.

Thus, each biography is placed with relative completeness within the historical context of the time and the local peculiarities.
