Making Ammonia Fritz Haber, Walther Nernst, and the Nature of Scientific Discovery

“Making Ammonia is a well-written and engaging book that makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the history of the ammonia synthesis. Johnson’s book is particularly strong in its exploration of the social and political context in which Fritz Haber worked and provides us with a vivid account of how cultural, technical, and social factors concur in producing a scientific discovery.” (Massimiliano Badino, The British Journal for the History of Science, Vol. 57 (2), June, 2024)
