Liquid Materialities: A History of Milk, Science and the Law
ISBN: 9780754679219 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. As a food, milk has been revered and ignored, respected and feared. In the face of its 'material resistance', attempts were made to purify it of dirt and disease, and to standardize its fat content. This is a history of the struggle to bring milk under control, to manipulate its naturally variable composition and, as a result, to redraw the boundaries between nature and society. Peter Atkins follows two centuries of dynamic and intriguing food history, shedding light on the resistance of natural products to the ordering of science. After this look at the stuff in foodstuffs, it is impossible...

What Is Chemistry?
ISBN: 9780199683987 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Most people remember chemistry from their schooldays as a subject that was largely incomprehensible. For many the topic was seen as being fact-rich but understanding-poor, smelly, and so far removed from the real world of events and pleasures that there seemed little point, except for the most introverted, in coming to terms with its grubby concepts, spells, recipes, and rules. Peter Atkins wants to change all that. In What is Chemistry? he encourages us to look at chemistry anew, through a chemist's eyes, to understand its central concepts and to see how it contributes not only...

Reactions: The Private Life of Atoms
ISBN: 9780199695126 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Illustrated with remarkable new full-color images--indeed, one or more on every page--and written by one of the world's leading authorities on the subject, Reactions offers a compact, pain-free tour of the inner workings of chemistry.
Reactions begins with the chemical formula almost everyone knows--the formula for water, H2O--a molecule with an "almost laughably simple chemical composition." But Atkins shows that water is also rather miraculous--it is the only substance whose solid form is less dense than its liquid (hence ice floats in water)--and incredibly central to many chemical...
