Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor

Beautifully written and amply illustrated, this is the ideal primer for those who wish to improve their scientific literacy. It is especially recommended for use in high school and undergraduate subsidiary science courses.
"... livelier than an ordinary textbook ... Chemistry is alive and well, say the authors, and to prove it they have written what might almost qualify as a page-turner." Engineering & Science

Reseña del editor

This text provides a non-mathematical descriptive approach to key concepts and contemporary topics in the sciences. Chapters on chemical bonding, biochemistry, cancer and the atmosphere are interspersed with such chapters as "The Alchemist's Dream", "Newsworthy Molecules" and "Wall Street Chemistry". The book employs a historical story-line through the text. For example, the Hindenberg serves to amplify the subtle, yet catastrophic, differences between helium and hydrogen. This book should be of interest to the lay reader who wishes to improve his/her scientific literacy. It is also recommended for use in high school and undergraduate courses for non-science majors.
