Uses cartoons to discuss chemistry, covering the history of the field and examining such topics as acids, solutions, biochemistry, thermodynamics, logarithms, and physical and organic chemistry.

In this practical pop science book, a scientist dubbed 'the Cooler Bill Nye' looks at how we experience chemistry every day, answering questions such as what makes dough rise and how coffee gives us an energy boost.

The authors illustrate the fundamental concepts of chemistry through everyday experiences using familiar materials and nontechnical language.

Examines the roles that the molecular properties of such items as the birth control pill, caffeine, and the buttons on the uniforms of Napoleon's army have played in the course of history.

A fresh take on a classic subject, "Chemistry Made Simple has been guiding readers around the periodic table for decades. Now completely updated, this introduction teaches readers about the structure and properties of matter, the Scientific Method, laws of chemistry, the atmosphere, energy, the environment, organic chemistry, nuclear chemistry, biochemistry, and more. With a glossary of chemical terms, practice problems with solutions, and detailed...

Positioned at the crossroads of the physical and biological sciences, chemistry deals with neither the infinitely small, nor the infinitely large, nor directly with life. So it is sometimes thought of as dull, the way things in the middle often are. But this middle ground is precisely where human beings exist. As Hoffmann shows in his inspired prose, the world observed at its molecular level is complex and agitated, as are the emotions of the supposedly...
