Archie Collins introduces chemistry, first by examining the marvels
of air and water, and then revealing the many exciting processes
and products discovered by humankind. Written with genuine
affection for the subject, the scope of this book gradually expands
to encompass the major industries and roles chemistry and chemical
processes carry. We learn the basics of combustion, acids, metals
and plant life. Gradually, a picture is assembled, demonstrating
how chemical processes are crucial to everyday living and human
civilization - simply put, from the earliest makings of fire to the
most advanced chemical reactions of modern times, human progress
has been wedded to advances and discoveries in chemistry. The crops
we grow and foods we eat, the clothes we wear and dye, the energy
powering our society - all are born of chemical reactions and
knowledge. Perhaps uniquely for an educational textbook, Archie
Collins demonstrates the importance and scope of chemistry by
framing it in a story of human endeavor.
