I don't think there's anything wildly different about this text compared to other sociological texts. The author does pull in more fields than just considering the practice of alchemy from a sociological perspective, which is rare, but not unheard of in academic settings.

Compared to similar book, The Riddle of Alchemy is a good combo of history, religion, philosophy and sociology. A 4-in-1 book, I would say. It's a good one.

haha, good question. It's tough to classify this in just one genre.
