What’s special

Theodore Gray has a hands-off, less academic view on chemistry. And so he describes chemical reactions from their most striking characteristics – loud, quiet, colorful, fast, slow, very slow. Always with an eye on the spectacular, he also reveals everything important about thermodynamics, the structure of matter and the nature of molecules. The glossy photos by Nick Mann are also a feast for the eyes.

This book is the German translation of Reactions – An illustrated exploration of elements, molecules, and change in the Universe by Theodore Gray, Nick Mann (photographs), Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers, New York, 2017.
