| Description: |
Experience science - chemistry in the everyday life (part 1) Chemistry rules our everyday life and environment and raises questions concerning benefits and risks of substances we are dealing with. Therefore, Emsleys book provides fundamental knowledge and is easy to understand for all consumers. A whiff of Chanel No. 5, a honey roll for breakfast, the beer for dinner ... these are all things which belong to our daily life and - seen from a scientific angle - are all mixtures of chemical substances. John Emsley describes characteristics, compositions and risks of "everyday" chemicals in an entertaining manner also comprehensible for the layman. Awarded with the Rhone Poulenc Science Book Prize.
