The Life of Ludwig Mond
About this book
First published in 1956, The Life of Ludwig Mond is one of the earliest biographies to present the story of Dr. Mond. The book, as a biography, is mainly and rightly concerned with the man himself, but it could hardly avoid dealing with the growth of those parts of the heavy chemical industry with which Ludwig Mond was associated. Quite apart from the clearly drawn portrait it provides, the book adds a most useful and interesting chapter to the history of one of the main branches of the early chemical industry. It throws light on the progressive changes that have taken place in chemical knowledge, in methods of manufacture, in the size of firms, and in industrial relations, in which Ludwig Mond was a pioneer. This important historical work is valuable to those interested in the life of Ludwig Mond as well as the development of industrial philosophy.
