The Chemistry Book [Hardcover]

Chemistry is easier to follow when the ideas are laid out visually, and this 336 page hardcover from DK works through the field's major concepts with diagrams doing much of the explaining. The book moves across the discipline from early attempts to understand matter through to modern materials and synthesis, setting out what each idea proposed, why it mattered and how it changed what came next. DK's usual approach applies: short explanatory passages sit beside infographics, quotations and timelines, so a reader can either work through it in order or open it at a single topic. It suits someone who wants the shape of chemistry rather than a textbook's problem sets. Briefly: • Hardcover, 336 pages, published by DK • Visual explanations built on diagrams and infographics • Ideas placed in sequence so developments connect • Readable in order or by individual topic Well matched to students, teachers and general readers wanting a clear overview of the subject, published by DK and available at Boipoka.
