Most people know a bit about physics but less about chemistry and, while
wearing nylon, swallowing synthetic medicines and using mobile phones, know even
less about molecules. A big, floppy and stunningly illustrated work from the
Royal Society of Chemistry shows how constant research on molecules has
transformed the world. It will continue to do so. The Age of the Molecule is a
high-class production and easy to read. Published by the RSC, £19.50, ISBN
