| Summary: | "This popular science book shows that chemists do have a sense of humour, and this book is a celebration of the quirky side of scientific nomenclature. Here we'll show you some real molecules that have unusual, rude, ridiculous or downright silly names. It is written in an easy-to-read style - you don't need to be a scientist to appreciate the content. Each molecule is illustrated with a photograph and/or images that relates directly to indirectly to its name, as well as its molecular structure (so it's educational too)."--BOOK JACKET. |
