Product Description
In this delightfully designed book, K. C. Nicolaou introduces the world's most important molecules and shows in a fascinating way the role certain compounds have to play in our everyday lives in the fields of drugs, aromatics or vitamins. For example, he tells the story of Aspirin, beginning 3,500 years ago in Egypt, through to its first synthesis and various applications with many entertaining facts and details. Printed in full color throughout and with its oversize format, this is a must for every chemist, natural scientist and anyone interested in the sciences. |

Self serving book by author Nicolaou, Sunday, July 18, 2010
While the stories are interesting, the author makes every opportunity to insert his name and photo with each "great" person... not so subtully suggesting he is in the same category, and also needs to be awarded a Nobel Prize. It is obvious and overdone.

Very Interesting book to read, Thursday, June 24, 2010
I bought this book for a class (taught by the author of this book). at first, this book seems like a children's book, with its big colored pages. however, this book is amazing to read. its very interesting and informative. also, all the pictures definitely were nice. this book talks about some of the most important molecules that were used throughout history and how they were discovered. i found this book very easy to read and i learned a lot about many important molecules and their applications.
