Fifty Fascinating Molecules from A to Z

Fifty Fascinating Molecules From A to Z, Volume 1 follows on from the author's earlier books Every Molecule Tells a Story and Every Molecule Matters and relates the stories of a wide range of molecules.They encompass familiar names - medicines including aspirin, cisplatin and morphine; flavourings such as menthol and vanillin; and substances of abuse such as cocaine and methamphetamine. But there are the unexpected, like the poisons that appear in the stories of James Bond and Dr Crippen; the molecules that give chillies and mustard their particular charm; the polymers that became a part of everyday life in the twentieth century - polythene, nylon and terylene; and other everyday molecules, such as hexenal, which plays a role in the smell of a summer's day; dimethylsulphide, which can transport you to the seaside; and water, a substance that so many people take for granted. It is not just about molecules. Chemicals, including the medicines we rely on, were brought into use by scientists.
