A New Book Explores these Building Blocks of Everything From Poison to Soap to Marijuana. The book is by former Popular Science Columnist Theodore Gray.
The book
Molecules is the second in a three book series about chemistry. The earlier one was the , Elements.
In The Elements: A Visual Exploration of Every Known Atom in the Universe
The very disarrayed presentation of Element inspired the new book, molecules, where the author can write about even more interesting information, after all molecules are aggregates, and hence more more capable of excite and fascinate children and adults, equally. The book thus contains trivias such as : What is the similarity between pepper and poison. It looks into everywhere from artificial sweeteners to opioid drugs.
Who is Theodore Gray?
Gray has a bachelor’s degree in chemistry. He left his PhD midway in the 1980s by an offer to co-found the computational software company Wolfram Research (the company behind the knowledge engine, Wolfram Alpha).
Between building that company and his career as an author, he won an Ig Nobel Prize for his hand made Periodic Table. For several years wrote a column for Popular Science.
