Cartoon Guide to Chemistry
In engaging and humorous graphic style, this collaboration between a scientist and a cartoonist covers both the history and the basics, including early ideas and techniques, electrochemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, environmental chemistry, physics as chemistry, and much more.
If you have ever suspected that "heavy water" is the title of a bootleg Pink Floyd album, believed that surface tension is an anxiety disorder, or imagined that a noble gas is the result of a heavy meal at Buckingham Palace, then you need "The Cartoon Guide to Chemistry" to set you on the road to chemical literacy. You don't need to be a scientist to grasp these and many other complex ideas, because "The Cartoon Guide to Chemistry" explains them all: the history and basics of chemistry, atomic theory, combustion, solubility, reaction stoichiometry, the mole, entropy, and much more--all explained in simple, clear, and yes, funny illustrations. Chemistry will never be the same!
