Justus von Liebig
Munday's earlier publications stemmed from his PhD thesis, "Sturm und Dung: Justus von Liebig (1803-73) and the Chemistry of Agriculture," completed under the direction of his "" Dr. L. Pearce Williams of Cornell University's Science &amp; Technology Studies program. This early series of publications included "Social Climbing Through Chemistry: Justus von Liebig's Rise from the "niederer Mittelstand to the Bildungsbuergertum", "Ambix" 37 (1990): 1-19 and "Politics by other means: Justus von Liebig and the German translation of John Stuart Mill's "Logic"", "British Journal for the History of Science" 31 (1998): 403-18. Munday's work on Liebig was cited heavily in the Liebig biography by University of Leicester professor William H. Brock, "Justus von Liebig: The Chemical Gatekeeper" (Cambridge University Press, 1997).
