Description

"Offering ten suggestions of what may be the most beautiful experiments in chemistry, Philip Ball provides an insight into the way chemists think and work, and demonstrates how what they do affects the rest of science and the wider world." "This exploration of beauty in experimental chemistry will stimulate scientists and non-scientists alike to think anew about how we come to know about the world, and how science and art are related. It looks at how the experiments were received at the time, how they changed the way we think, and how they have sometimes been distorted in the retelling."--BOOK JACKET.
