| Resumen: |
Este libro es un relato entusiasta de la vida y el trabajo pionero de Pierre Laszlo sobre la catálisis de reacciones orgánicas mediante arcillas modificadas, y sus reflexiones sobre la actividad cientÃfica entre los años 1960 y 1990. En esta autobiografÃa, los lectores descubrirán un testimonio de primera mano de la revolución quÃmica de la segunda mitad del siglo XX, y la perspectiva del autor sobre cómo encontrar una vocación en la ciencia y la quÃmica, asà como su propia experiencia al hacer ciencia, enseñar ciencia. y gestionar una carrera cientÃfica. Durante este perÃodo, Pierre Laszlo dirigió un laboratorio académico y trabajó también en tres paÃses diferentes: Estados Unidos, Bélgica y Francia, donde tuvo la oportunidad de conocer colegas destacados. En este libro, recuerda sus encuentros y colaboraciones con importantes cientÃficos, que dieron forma a la naturaleza de la quÃmica en momentos de mayor ritmo de cambio, y recopila un retrato de la comunidad cientÃfica mundial en ese momento. Además, el autor nos cuenta sobre los giros y vueltas de su propia vida, y cómo terminó centrando su investigación en la quÃmica basada en arcilla, donde los minerales de arcilla se convertÃan en su laboratorio para catálisis de transformaciones quÃmicas clave. Teniendo en cuenta su esencia, el libro ofrece información genuina sobre la vida y la carrera de un quÃmico, y atraerá no sólo a cientÃficos y estudiantes, sino también a historiadores de la ciencia y al lector en general. . |

| Summary : |
This book is an enthusiastic account of Pierre Laszlo's life and pioneering work on catalysis of organic reactions by modified clays, and his reflections on doing science from the 1960s to 1990s. In this autobiography, readers will discover a first-hand testimony of the chemical revolution in the second half of the 20th century, and the author's perspective on finding a calling in science and chemistry, as well as his own experience on doing science, teaching science and managing a scientific career. During this period, Pierre Laszlo led an academic laboratory and worked also in three different countries: the US, Belgium and France, where he had the opportunity to meet remarkable colleagues. In this book, he recalls his encounters and collaborations with important scientists, who shaped the nature of chemistry at times of increased pace of change, and collates a portrait of the worldwide scientific community at that time. In addition, the author tells us about theturns and twists of his own life, and how he ended up focusing his research on clay based chemistry, where clay minerals were turned in his lab to catalysis of key chemical transformations. Given its breath, the book offers a genuine information on the life and career of a chemist, and it will appeal not only to scientists and students, but also to historians of science and to the general reader. . |
