"Converting graphite into diamond requires extreme temperatures and pressures to break and reform chemical bonds, making the process impractical. A more feasible transformation...involves reconfiguring the atomic layers of graphite by shifting them against relatively weak van der Waals forces."

"Very rare third edition of one of the great compilation of hermetic texts and illustrations, first published in 1625. The present edition reprints the enlarged second edition, and it includes treatises by Basil Valentine, Helvetius, Nicolas Flamel, Michael Maier, Thomas Norton, Sendivogious, and Lambspring, et al."

"Ink manuscript copy of the 1677 original, with pictorial title page and 14 illustrated plates. 31.5x22 cm (12¼x8¾“), full polished red calf tooled in gilt. Hand-drawn holograph copy of one of the most famous works of alchemy: a text consisting entirely of pictures, without explanatory text. This is thought to be one of some 4 or 5 copies produced. Possibly from the circle of colleagues of Magritte."

RELIGION,MAGIC, AND SCIENCE IN EARLY MODERN EUROPE AND AMERICA

"Many of us may think we know religion, magic, and science when we see them, but the truth is we don’t, and this book is about why we don’t and how what we think we know about all three came into existence during the early modern period itself. Our definitions of religion, magic, and science are just that, ours, modern definitions that have a long and contested history."

Slightly off-topic but it's free:

"The composer Sir James MacMillan has called music ‘the most spiritual of the arts’, and for many people, both religious and non-religious alike, this rings true. But what do people mean by ‘music’ and ‘spiritual’ in this context, and what is the nature of their perceived relationship? Do certain kinds of music more readily afford spiritual experiences than others? What do psycho-physiological measures—such as heart and breathing activity, electrodermal activity, and saliva samples—reveal about perceived spiritual experiences?"

"Alchemy is often associated with the imagery of flasks, furnaces, and laboratories. However, the universe of alchemical iconography extends far beyond these familiar motifs, encompassing a rich tapestry of symbols and allegories tied to both chemical processes and cultural phenomena. Thanks to extensive archival efforts and digitisation projects, we now have access to thousands of alchemical image series preserved in manuscripts and printed books. How might our understanding of this visual tradition deepen if we approach alchemical allegorical iconography using the same methodologies applied to other forms of imagery — such as iconographic analysis and the study of text-image relationships?"
