About this audiobook
A plain-spoken introduction to chemistry for readers who have never studied it. The first part follows how the science grew, from its early history to the basic principles chemists work by. The second part moves through the elements one by one, then the organic and inorganic compounds built from them.
Hereward Carrington wrote it in 1924 as one of the small Little Blue Books, aimed at ordinary readers. Craig Michael Beck reads it in about an hour and a half.
A good fit for anyone curious about how early twentieth century science explained the stuff the world is made of.
