Discover and understand the key ideas that underpin the core science of chemistry and learn about the great minds who uncovered them.

Written in plain English, The Chemistry Book is packed with short, pithy explanations of some of the most historic moments in science, from the birth of atomic theory to the discovery of polythene and the development of new vaccine technologies to combat COVID-19.

Arranged in chronological order, the book covers key themes in the physical and natural sciences, such as geochemistry and the elements. Within each chapter, a series of articles traces the history of scientific thought and introduces the work of the scientists who have shaped the subject such as John Dalton, Marie Curie, Dmitri Mendeleev, Kathleen Lonsdale and Stephanie Kwolek. Along the way, the audiobook addresses some of the most fundamental questions in science, such as what is the universe made of, how is matter created and what are the chemical bonds that make life possible?

Whether you are new to chemistry, a student of the sciences, or just want to keep up with and understand the latest news and scientific debates, The Chemistry Book is for you.

Gives a good overall guide to the subject

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

I am a big fan of Dorling Kindersley publications, especially their gloriously illustrated travel guides. I already had the DK Literature Book in this series which is a comprehensive introduction to the subject from the earliest times to the present, so I had an idea of what to expect with The Chemistry Book.

It does not disappoint. It covers an enormous range of subjects - again from the earliest times to the present day - in enough detail to encourage you to do further research if you need to, or simply to provide basic knowledge to satisfy a superficial interest.

It is well laid out with good use of illustrations and clear page layouts, and a comprehensive index, a useful glossary of terms, and a Directory of key figures in chemistry.

A useful primer for the student.

Get to grips with ideas and advancements in chemistry

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 3 August 2022

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

I already have the Maths Book from this DK series and found it very good. This chemistry book from the same series is also very good as a reference book for getting to grips with the ideas and advancements in chemistry. From the dawn of time to the present day, from beer brewing to transuranic elements it covers the advances in chemistry in an easy to understand way with clear diagrams and pictures. At the top of each right hand page are cross references to linked subjects so you can easily fall down a rabbit hole by following the links, a very enjoyable way (I find) to learn new stuff. Hard backed with quality paper it is pricey but it is full of information, which I hope is accurate. If you have a curiosity about the world we live in this might be the book for you. It is available on the Kindle but for reference books like this I find a proper book far easier and more satisfying to use.
