In the last 500 years, the worldwide community of chemistry has produced individuals who attempted to synthesize a coherent view of chemistry that could be taught to actual students. This book attempts to define the characteristics of good chemical preceptors. Even chemical geniuses can become so focused on their own work that they are not understood by the bulk of their contemporaries and cannot contribute to the synoptic view of chemistry needed for effective
teaching. It is hoped that the insights presented in this work will be of benefit to all current preceptors in chemistry.

Gary Patterson is Professor of Chemistry at Carnegie Mellon University. He is the immediate past-chair of the History of Chemistry Division of the American Chemical Society. He is Chair of the Heritage Council at the Chemical Heritage Foundation.
