Stories of the Invisible is a lucid account of the way that chemists see the molecular world. It really is a good bedtime read for all. All of the ingredients of a good work of ficiton are here. Molecular Epigenesis, Molecular Pleiotropy, and Molecular Gene Definitions.Richard Burian - 2004 - History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences 26 (1):59 - 80. This is a very readable and non-technical survey. * Harry Kroto, Chemistry Nobel Laureate 1996 *Īt no point does Stories of the Invisible sacrifice sound science for sound bites - we are in the hands of a scholar and true believer. * Ronald Hoffmann, Chemistry Nobel Laureate 1981 *Īlmost no aspect of the exciting advances in molecular research studies at the beginning of the 21st Century has been left untouched and in so doing, Ball has presented an imaginative, personal overview, which is as instructive as it is enjoyable to read.
A special delight of this excellent book is the tie that emerges between the wondrous molecules of nature and those chemists make in the laboratory. Both spacecraft have onboard instruments that will look for the fingerprints of complex organic molecules a possible hint of life beneath the ice. Review from previous edition If the intimate workings of molecules seem invisible, through Philip Ball's lively pros we see them-coming to life, helping us live.
