SynopsisJohn Dalton grew up in a poor Quaker family in England in the early 1800s. At age twelve he became a schoolteacher, and he taught for the rest of his life. Through the influence of friends, he became interested in science and began taking daily weather readings, studying the aurora borealis, and hypothesizing its source. He also investigated the condition of color-blindness after realizing that his eyesight was not like-that of other people. He even requested that his eyeballs be examined after his death to find a cause. Dalton's most influential theory defined the atom as the characteristic particle of matter and established chemistry as an exact science. He drew up atomic weights and described the way that atoms combine to form molecules. Despite his lack of formal education, his insights led him to the Atomic Theory, which focused chemists on atoms and led others to discoveries in the field of chemistry. Book jacket.
