Chemistry Today and Tomorrow:
The Central, Useful, and Creative Science
This highly readable book, written in nontechnical
language, surveys the vast field of chemistry by looking
at the practical contributions that chemistry makes
to civilized life and by explaining how chemists make
these contributions. Its eight chapters discuss broad
disciplines of chemistry, such as medicinal, environmental,
or industrial chemistry, but always with an eye for
the interesting detail and for the human activity that
lies behind these fields. Written in a lively question-and
answer format by Ronald Breslow, an award-winning teacher,
researcher, and recipient of the U.S. National Medal
of Science in 1991, this book examines today's chemistry
and its primary challenges.
Ronald Breslow is Past President of the American
Chemical Society.
