Introducing astrochemistry to a wide audience, this book describes
how molecules formed in chemical reactions occur in a range of
environments in interstellar and circumstellar space, from shortly
after the Big Bang up to the present epoch. Stressing that
chemistry in these environments needs to be driven, it helps
identify these drivers and the various chemical networks that
operate giving rise to signature molecules that enable the physics
of the region to be better understood. The book emphasises, in a
non-mathematical way, the chemistry of the Milky Way Galaxy and its
planet-forming regions, describes how other galaxies may have
rather different chemistries and shows how chemistry was important
even in the Early Universe when most of the elements had yet to be
formed. This book will appeal to anyone with a general interest in
chemistry, from students to professional scientists working in
interdisciplinary areas and non-scientists fascinated by the
evolving and exciting story of chemistry in the cosmos.
