Description
This inspired book by some of the most influential scientists of our time--including six Nobel laureates--chronicles our emerging understanding
of the chemical bond through the last nine decades and into the future. From Pauling's early structural work using x-ray and electron
diffraction to Zewail's femtosecond lasers that probe molecular dynamics in real time; from Crick's molecular biology to Rich's molecular
recognition, this book explores a rich tradition of scientific heritage and accomplishment. The perspectives given by Pauling, Perutz,
Rich, Crick, Porter, Polanyi, Herschbach, Zewail, and Bernstein celebrate major scientific achievements in chemistry and biology with
the chemical bond playing a fundamental role. In a unique presentation that also provides some lively insights into the very nature of
scientific thought and discovery, The Chemical Bond: Structure and Dynamics will be of general interest to scientists, science historians,
and the scientifically inclined populous.
Audience
Chemists, chemical physicists, biologists, physical chemists, lay people, and students interested in the history of science.
