In his highly anticipated sequel to The Elements, Theodore Gray
demonstrates how the elements of the periodic table combine to form
the molecules that make up our world. Everything physical is made
up of the elements and the infinite variety of molecules they form
when they combine with each other. In Molecules, Theodore Gray
takes the next step in the grand story that began with the periodic
table in his best-selling book, The Elements: A Visual Exploration
of Every Known Atom in the Universe. Here, he explores through
fascinating stories and trademark stunning photography the most
interesting, essential, useful, and beautiful of the millions of
chemical structures that make up every material in the world. Gray
begins with an explanation of how atoms bond to form molecules and
compounds, as well as the difference between organic and inorganic
chemistry. He then goes on to explore the vast array of materials
molecules can create, including: soaps and solvents; goops and
oils; rocks and ores; ropes and fibers; painkillers and dangerous
drugs; sweeteners; perfumes and stink bombs; colors and pigments;
and controversial compounds including asbestos, CFCs, and
thimerosal. Big, gorgeous photographs, as well as diagrams of the
compounds and their chemical bonds, rendered with never before seen
beauty, fill the pages and capture molecules in their various
states. As he did in The Elements, Gray shows us molecules as we've
never seen them before. It's the perfect book for his loyal fans
who've been eager for more and for anyone fascinated with the
mysteries of the material world.
