Descripción del artículo del vendedor

First Edition. xvi, 650, [4] (ads) pages. Plus folding plate extra to the pagination. 8vo. Original dark green cloth boards with gilt titling to spine and front board, and blind ruling to boards. Corner tips and base of spine bumped. Some scuffing to the boards. Tiny stain to foredges affecting prelims and first four leaves. Clean internally. While dated 1904 on the title page (the usual first edition indication for this publisher) the advertisements in the rear note two works, one that was published in 1907, the other in 1908). So a later issue of the first edition sheets. We would welcome any information about this binding without the advertisements for our own research purposes. Cloth. "Ida Freund (5 April 1863 15 May 1914) was the first woman to be a university chemistry lecturer in the United Kingdom. She is known for her influence on science teaching, particularly the teaching of women and girls. She wrote two key chemistry textbooks and invented the idea of baking periodic table cupcakes, as well as inventing a gas measuring tube, which was named after her.Freund is known for her interest in science education, and in particular for improving science teaching in girls' schools. At the time, in Cambridge, women could not work in the same laboratories as men so Freund taught special classes in the Chemistry labs at Newnham College. She also wrote textbooks and organised holiday workshops for women teachers. Freund experimented with different teaching techniques, favouring Wilhelm Ostwald's approach, in which "[t]he main facts of chemistry are dealt with in the form of a dialogue between a teacher and a pupil". She insisted that her students read original research and test the validity of published work a revolutionary approach for the time, for which she was criticised. However, she had a significant influence on the teaching techniques of the time and was much loved by her students. Hutchinson and Thomas, the editors of her posthumously published textbook The Fundamental Principles of Chemistry, described her teaching ethos thus "Miss Freund had a dread of thoughtless experimenting and slipshod thinking. She felt strongly that much that passes for training in science has little relation to scientific method and is of small educational value." They quote her as saying, " I aimed at giving by means of class teaching not only a common ground of knowledge but also a common standard concerning the nature of scientific proof and the meaning of real accuracy". She opposed the introduction of domestic science teaching in girls' schools as a substitute for fundamental scientific education but made use of her own baking and culinary skills to create engaging teaching resources.
