Product Description
Review
"Over 366 pages we meet more than 500 famous researchers and hear plenty of amazing tales about legendary molecules…. [For those] of us interested in this fascinating science the book is worth reading." (Lab Times, May 2008)
"The lay person and the dedicated student alike will take pleasure in reading the fascinating stories about legendary molecules … .Enriching and highly rewarding." (Anticancer Research 28: 2008)
"This colorfully illustrated book will entertain students of all kinds, from undergraduates just beginning their studies to the serious practioner." (CHOICE, November 2008)
"For the synthetic organic chemistry, the book provides an opportunity to observe the beauty and innovation of synthetics approaches, as well as to appreciate the maturation of organic synthesis as a discipline. For the educator, the book will serve as a powerful resource for stories that can awaken sleepy undergraduates to the history of science and to the possibilities that await the scientists of tomorrow. A reader with a modest familiarity with organic chemistry will appreciate, in addition to the history of individual molecules, the stories about individual scientists, whose dedication, passion, and insight moved chemistry and, in many cases, all of science forward." (Bulletin for the History of Chemistry, Volume 22, Number 2, 2008)
"This book will sit proudly on my shelf, and I fully expect it to be a useful reference source. I hope that will be true of schools and colleges too." (Chemistry and Industry, June 2008)
"The book’s style and content are more accessible than is the case for most other books on synthetic organic chemistry that you’re likely to encounter." (Chemical and Engineering News, June 2008)
"This book will change the attitudes of many to science." (Chemistry in Australia, June 2008)
"I found this book a highly enjoyable read. This fresh approach should be applauded and will no doubt become a classic in its own right." (Chemistry World, June 2008)
"This book will no doubt educate, inspire and motivate…" (Angewandte Chemie, 2008–47/18)
"...delightfully designed book…" (Portal für Organische Chemie, Feburary 2008)
"You will meet for instance Milan Uskovivic, who prepared desoxyquinine or Leo Sternbach the ‘father’ of the benzodiazepines too. Happy reading!" (RoSearch, April 2008)
"This book is a true treasure chest of information, chemical and non–chemical…" (ChemMedChem, April 2008)
"A wonderfully suitable gift for anyone who is interested in chemistry, and will serve to enhance that fascination and interest." (Organic Chemistry Portal, March 2008)
"A scientific journey encapsulating the most important aspects of the history of chemical discovery over the last 50 years." (MedicalNewsToday.com, 16 March 2008)
