Synopsis

This book introduces Chemistry in an accessible manner for readers who are new to the concepts of the science. It is written chronologically to take readers through the history of chemistry from its earliest days through the present. The author has attempted to merge copiousness with condensation and perspicuity with brevity, to make the book useful to both casual readers and those who intend to study chemistry professionally. Beginning with the fundamental elements and principles of chemistry, the book explores various topics that build on these foundations. The author also provides references to original research for readers who want to dive deeper into a particular topic. Chemistry is a constantly evolving field and this book does not purport to offer readers the latest research, but instead to ground them in the core principles and history of chemistry to enable them to pursue advanced topics independently when they're ready.
