"Holmes has succeeded in giving us a brilliant and exhaustive explication of Lavoisier's creative vision, his experimental strategies and theoretical constructs. This is reflected in his intimate knowledge of Lavoisier's laboratory notebooks and other documents, as well as his obvious familiarity with the large body of Lavoisier scholarship. In short, Holmes has made an important contribution to the history of science and biochemistry and to our understanding of scientific creativity." --Alex Berman, Journal of the History of Medicine
