Book synopsis

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.
