Well if you aren't going to do it yourself and trust yourself to do a good job with it - I would suggest you become a member of enotes http://www.enotes.com/siddhartha/5642 - but to be honest you ought to just read the chapter and do the best you can.  Lets just say your not learning what that novel is teaching if you need to use enotes - but hey its your life ;-).\n\nGood Luck!!!

Alchemy is crude early Chemistry combined with spirtuallity.  And no it doesnt exsist, but some do practice it still.

There are two men named Albert known as Saints.  I think Albert Magnus the Dominican friar from the 13th century is the one most often refered to as "the great".  \n\nHe was famous for promoting the peaceful coexistence of science and religion.  He was also the first Dark Ages scholar to reapply Aristotle's teachings to medieval life.  \n\nI'll include a few links for you to get started.  Good luck with your research.\n\nRegards, \n\nArmus

The history of chemistry may be said to begin with the distinction of chemistry from alchemy by Robert Boyle in his work The Sceptical Chymist (1661). Both alchemy and chemistry are concerned with the nature of matter and its transformations but, in contrast with alchemists, chemists apply the scientific method. The history of chemistry is intertwined with the history of thermodynamics, especially through the work of Willard Gibbs.\n\n\n\nOrigins\n\nAlthough the archives of chemical research draw upon work from ancient Babylon, Egypt, and especially Persia after Islam, the birth of chemistry is often dated to Antoine Lavoisier's discovery of the law of conservation of mass, and thereby to his refutation of the phlogiston theory of combustion in 1783. (Phlogiston was supposed to be an imponderable substance liberated by flammable materials in burning.) Mikhail Lomonosov independently established a tradition of chemistry in Russia in the 18th century. Lomonosov also rejected the phlogiston theory, and anticipated the kinetic theory of gases. He regarded heat as a form of motion, and stated the idea of conservation of matter.\n\nThe vitalism debate and organic chemistry\n\nAfter the nature of combustion (see oxygen) was settled, another dispute, about vitalism and the essential distinction between organic and inorganic substances, was revolutionized by Friedrich Wöhler's accidental synthesis of urea from inorganic substances in 1828. Never before had an organic compound been synthesized from inorganic material. This opened a new research field in chemistry, and by the end of the 19th century, scientists were able to synthesize hundreds of organic compounds. The most important among them are mauve, magenta, and other synthetic dyes, as well as the widely used drug aspirin. The discovery also contributed greatly to the theory of isomerism

Alchemist: An alchemist is a person who practices alchemy.\n\nAlchemy: Alchemy is an early protoscientific and philosophical discipline combining elements of chemistry, metallurgy, physics, medicine, astrology, semiotics, mysticism, spiritualism, and art. Alchemy has been practiced in ancient Egypt, India, and China, in Classical Greece and Rome, in the Islamic empire, and then in Europe up to the 19th century — in a complex network of schools and philosophical systems spanning at least 2500 years.

No, actually there have been numerous christian alchemists, and alchemy has been an intelectual outlet for for christians for centuries. Even mainstream christian authors like Christopher Stachef (sp?) have embraced some alchemical concepts.

No. Alchemy was regarded as the devil's work in the middle ages up through the 17th century by Christians because it dealt with things that Christians did not understand. Christian alchemists had to work in secret so as to not be prosecuted for thier practice.

Plato/ Aristotle were leading scientists in their day.\n\nYou should just start by going to any major year college and earning a B.S. Degree. This will lead you in the right path.\n\nGood Luck!
