AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Fascinating illustrated edition of this scientific treatise, which is part of the movement towards the rationalization of food and medical knowledge in the early 19th century.
The work systematically examines the chemical composition of bones, aiming to identify the nutritional substances they contain and their potential use in human or animal nutrition, in a context where resource economy and the valorization of by-products were major concerns.
D’Arcet, a chemist and member of the Academy of Sciences, applies a rigorous experimental approach based on chemical analysis and quantification to demonstrate that bones, reduced to powder or subjected to various processes, can provide nutrients and fertilizers.
