This is not solely a Chemistry Book. It’s also a book about how a knowledge of Chemistry impacts our lives. Chemistry necessarily deals with the fundamental units of the Universe: Atoms and Molecules. These are the “bricks†that make up galaxies, the stars, our planets and every living ting on Earth, and even us.
All animals and plants are Chemical Factories powered by Electro-Chemically driven reactions that take raw materials and convert them into useful products. Plants, via the magical Electro-Chemical process called Photosynthesis, provide animals with two of the basic necessities of life: Food and oxygen. Animals, via the Metabolism of food within their bodies, return the favor by providing Plants with the Carbon Dioxide and Nutrients they need to survive.
The primary goal of the author is to help readers understand what Chemistry is all about in a straight-forward interesting way. The presentations and explanations of atoms and molecules, and how they interact are clear and concise. This is achieved by using lots of diagrams and pictures to illustrate what happens during and after chemical reactions take place.
The book would be most helpful for middle school students and children who are being home-schooled in preparing them for high school chemistry. However, adults interested in the nuances of chemistry and how it impacts their lives should also find it interesting and, the icing on the cake will be that they will experience the Joy of Understanding a subject that has been traditionally bothersome.
