Media Reviews
'… the book is a treasure trove, and I defy anyone not to find some new and surprising fact about a subject thought familiar.' Chemistry and Industry
'We need to be reminded that matter, ordinary matter, is mysterious and magical … In Atkins' delightful book, the Cinderella of chemistry begins to look a lot like a beautiful princess.' The Boston Globe
From the first edition: 'This is undoubtedly the most beautiful chemistry book ever written …' New Scientist
'The cast list is sublimely eclectic: from corn to cannabis and from silk to civet cats; from vanilla to Viagra, and from the smell of death to the start of life … this thoroughly readable, handsomely illustrated work - less a formal textbook, more a vade-mecum of chemical diversity - should encourage many more people to fiddle with compounds. Chemists' shelves should stock it. Chemistry World
'The author's deep enthusiasm for his discipline … is unmistakably felt throughout this beautifully produced volume.' The Chemical Educator
