The Chemistry Book (DK Big Ideas)

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in chemistry. It has wonderful insights about early chemistry way back in history to modern times. Incredible book!!!!

Would highly recommend the whole series, own must of them, some for years and still keep reading them , well written. DK is an awesome publisher, hope the continue keeping their high quality publications

Great add to the dk collection.

My last chemistry class was back in 1973. My how chemistry has changed! This series of books "Big Ideas, Made Simple" is well designed, has thoughtful illustrations, is colorful, and I think expertly written. This book, in particular, was a great refresher for me and then it continued where I left off, with exciting topics, to the current time. One feature I like is the brief biographies of the men and women featured in each topic. For me, it adds another dimension to the topic. These were real people and they persevered. We owe them a lot as our lives today benefited from their efforts. Try to think of our lives without plastics. Impossible.

I have many DK books. Not too far into this one but enjoying it so far. It delves into the history of the science which I like. Sometimes the kindle version of the DK books can be a bit glitchy because of graphics, etc.. This one seems to work fine.

Lovely Books, to have a general idea and learn the basics.

Easy to understand and nicely illustrated.

This book is a history of chemistry written for middle school children I will not be buying any more books that have similar titles

Perfect book

Ontvanger was erg enthousiast.

As mentioned not great for reference , it reads like a story more. Nothing in it about ionic or covalent bonding either - bizarre. And lots of propoganda about lockdowns and covid vaccines ... so no thanks.. returning

East to read as all DK books are. Very comprehensive with quality information.

Good book
