| Genre: | Book (1st edition • Juni 2004 • Wiley-VCH) |
 ISBN 3-527-30970-5 |
| Description: |
In everyday life, chemistry is present in all sorts of small things - even if we
often do not know or are not aware of this. This book shows where we can come
across these things. Written in an entertaining style with an appealing graphical
design and always easy to understand, it is an exciting reading for both layman
and expert. The authors clarify that chemistry has as a matter of course become
part of our lives. They review the chronologic run and layout of each single day.
Here, unperceived contacts with chemistry can often be found: from the morning
visit to the bathroom, the drive to work, having lunch up to the nice evening
for two at home. Everybody is irrevocably brought into contact with chemistry by
all stations of everyday life. Getting to know these stations deliberately is
interesting and exciting at the same time. | |
