Molecules that create the world
 |
Description
Book Introduction
The world of chemistry that feels difficult
No book has ever dealt with this subject so colorfully and elegantly.
There is no book that introduces all the molecules in the world.
It can't be.
Because even now, new molecules continue to be born.
So, is it impossible to understand the molecular world? No, it is possible.
This book introduces that microscopic and boundless world.
It's full of stories that stimulate the imagination, such as the power of soap that rivals world peace (it reconciles water and oil), the secret of unbreakable rubber gloves (it's actually a simple polymer), and how to ripen fruit quickly (ethylene is the answer).
The fascinating world of chemistry seen with your own eyes
Learn about molecular properties and scientific principles in an easy and fun way with photos and illustrations!
This book provides an interesting description of the characteristics of the elements that make up molecules, the structure of compounds, and the definitions and theories of how the material world around us has certain properties due to certain molecules.
The world of chemistry, which can sometimes feel difficult, is explained with three-dimensional drawings and vivid photos, as if you were seeing and touching each piece in a science lab.
Additionally, the author's explanations are witty and passionate, so there is no time to be bored.
It is useful as a reference material for not only middle and high school students but also college undergraduates studying chemistry, and has high utility as a supplementary teaching material for teachers.

Publisher's Review
Recommendation (Editor's Note)
This book is a chemistry book that doesn't seem like a chemistry book.
It's like the magic school Harry Potter went to.
After reading this book, chemistry will become fun and you will begin to look at things around you through a chemical lens.
The author of this book is truly remarkable for bringing together so many curious and precious objects, so many antiques that tell stories from the world of chemistry.
Although I have studied chemistry my entire life, there were many things in this book that I had never seen before, and I found it very interesting throughout the book.
I hope you too will explore the world of chemistry with this book.
Chemistry is a very difficult and boring subject for non-majors.
I also didn't study chemistry until I went to college.
It was a very difficult subject.
However, after completing my master's degree and then my doctoral degree, I first felt the charm of chemistry, and from then on, I was completely captivated by its allure.
Chemistry is a truly fascinating discipline.
However, you cannot see inside from the outside.
Is there any discipline as mysterious as chemistry? It's no wonder that chemistry has long been surrounded by the image of magic.
But if you know even a little bit about chemistry, you will fall in love with it.
In the old days in the West, chemical experiments were once a hobby of the wealthy and aristocrats.
Even people who absolutely hate studying and reading will find this book enjoyable.
Especially since it's a difficult chemistry book.
This book has more pictures than text.
However, the amount of knowledge being conveyed is by no means small.
The illustrations and photos are very well organized, making it much easier and clearer to understand than dozens of lines of text.
Just looking at the pictures is informative and valuable in itself.
Of course, this book does not cover all areas of chemistry.
So it's not a chemistry textbook.
However, if you read this book and become interested in chemistry, you will have studied chemistry more thoroughly than if you read dozens of chemistry books to prepare for the exam.
All discoveries and inventions in natural science began with curiosity and interest.
After reading this book, even boring chemistry textbooks will look different.
Who knows? One of you might one day win a Nobel Prize in Chemistry!
