Chemistry and Our Universe: How It All Works is your in-depth introduction to this vital field, taught through 60 engaging half-hour lectures that are suitable for any background or none at all. Covering a year’s worth of introductory general chemistry at the college level, plus intriguing topics that are rarely discussed in the classroom, this amazingly comprehensive course requires nothing more advanced than high-school math. Your guide is Professor Ron B. Davis, Jr., a research chemist and award-winning teacher at Georgetown University.

Have you ever wondered what makes dough rise? Or how your morning coffee gives you that energy boost? Or why your shampoo is making your hair look greasy? The answer is chemistry. From the moment we wake up until the time we go to sleep (and even while we sleep), chemistry is at work - and it doesn't take a PhD in science to understand it.

 Block by Block offers an original perspective on thermodynamic science and history based on the three approaches of a practicing engineer, academician, and historian. The book synthesizes and gathers into one accessible volume a strategic range of foundational topics involving the atomic theory, energy, entropy, and the laws of thermodynamics. 

To women the whole world over, perfume means glamour, and in the world of perfume, Jean-Claude Ellena is a superstar. In this one-of-a-kind book, the master himself takes you through the doors of his laboratory and explains the process of creating precious fragrances, revealing the key methods and recipes involved in this mysterious alchemy.

We are unprepared for the greatest discovery of modern science. Scientists are confident that there is alien life across the universe yet we have not moved beyond our perception of 'aliens' as Hollywood stereotypes. The time has come to abandon our fixation on alien monsters and place our expectations on solid scientific footing. Using his own expert understanding of life on earth and Darwin's theory of evolution - which applies throughout the universe - Cambridge zoologist Dr Arik Kershenbaum explains what alien life must be like.

A Short History of Nearly Everything is Bill Bryson's fascinating and humorous quest to understand everything that has happened from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization. He takes subjects that normally bore the pants off most of us, like geology, chemistry, and particle physics, and aims to render them comprehensible to people who have never thought they could be interested in science. In the company of some extraordinary scientists, Bill Bryson reveals the world in a way most of us have never seen it before.

What can beer teach us about biology, history, and the natural world? From ancient Mesopotamian fermentation practices to the resurgent American craft brewery, authors Rob DeSalle and Ian Tattersall peruse the historical record and traverse the globe for engaging and often surprising stories about beer. They explain how we came to drink beer, what ingredients combine to give beers their distinctive flavors, how beer's chemistry works at the molecular level, and how various societies have regulated the production and consumption of beer. 

When you're cooking, you're a chemist! Every time you follow or modify a recipe you are experimenting with acids and bases, emulsions and suspensions, gels and foams. In your kitchen you denature proteins, crystallize compounds, react enzymes with substrates, and nurture desired microbial life while suppressing harmful microbes. And unlike in a laboratory, you can eat your experiments to verify your hypotheses.

In The Elements We Live By, physicist and award-winning author Anja Røyne takes us on an astonishing journey through chemistry and physics, introducing the building blocks from which we humans - and the world - are made. Not only does Røyne explain why our bodies need iron, phosphorus, silicon, potassium, and many more elements in just the right amounts in order to function, she also leads us around the world to where these precious elements are found (some of them in ever-shrinking quantities).  

 Chemistry for Breakfast is a perfect book for anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of chemistry without having prior knowledge of the science. With Mai as your guide, you'll find something fascinating everywhere around you. 

Alexander (better known as “Sasha”) and Ann Shulgin’s PiHKAL: A Chemical Love Story has become a foundational work in the genre and was the first book to fully impart the how-to chemistry, and convey the effects, of many of the entheogenic drugs that are currently being studied and used to heal trauma and deal with death. 

*The* podcast about light-matter interaction! Jay and Dugan host this monthly podcast about chemistry and physics with a focus on the variety of ways in which scientists study and take advantage of interactions between light and matter.

For decades, biology has been dominated by the study of genetic information. Information is important, but it is only part of what makes us alive. Our inheritance also includes our living metabolic network, a flame passed from generation to generation, right back to the origin of life. In Transformer, biochemist Nick Lane reveals a scientific renaissance that is hiding in plain sight-how the same simple chemistry gives rise to life and causes our demise.

The Bonding and Beer podcast, hosted by Rolando Nuñez, combines Ro's two favorite things: adhesive restorative dentistry and beer. Every other week, he picks a new beer to enjoy while educating his audience on a topic relevant to the dental bonding world. Make sure you stay until the end, when Ro gives his beer review and answers questions submitted by you. Watch it on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcast platform.

Nel nuovo podcast di Teknoring, Giuseppina Paolantonio ci guida nell’oscuro mondo del rischio chimico nei luoghi di lavoro: etichette, simboli e segnali del nostro corpo non saranno più un segreto. Il rischio chimico nei luoghi di lavoro è ben più frequente di quanto si pensi e si annida nelle tantissime sostanze da cui siamo circondati. Siamo spesso utilizzatori inconsapevoli di sostanze più comuni come di altre più pericolose, di cui è sempre bene conoscere i possibili effetti indesiderati e sapere quale dispositivo di protezione individuale usare. Nel podcast “Materiale esplosivo...

The explosion of Internet commerce, coupled with globalization and increased pharmaceutical use, has led to an unprecedented vulnerability in the US drug supply. Today, an estimated 80 percent of our drugs are manufactured overseas, mostly in India and China. Every link along this supply chain offers an opportunity for counterfeiters, and increasingly, they are breaking in. Even when the US system works, consumers are increasingly circumventing the safeguards. Skyrocketing health care costs in the US have forced more Americans to become "medical tourists" seeking drugs, life-saving treatments, and transplants abroad, sometimes in countries with rampant counterfeit drug problems and no FDA. Bitter Pills will heighten the public's awareness about counterfeit drugs, critically examine possible solutions, and help people protect themselves. 

An enchanting biography of the most resonant - and most necessary - chemical element on Earth. Carbon. It's in the fibers in your hair, the timbers in your walls, the food that you eat, and the air that you breathe. It's worth billions as a luxury and half a trillion as a necessity, but there are still mysteries yet to be solved about the element that can be both diamond and coal. Where does it come from, what does it do, and why, above all, does life need it?

TNQ Sciences is a podcast connected with TNQ’s annual Distinguished Lectures. This lecture series aims to bring internationally renowned scientists face-to-face with the Indian scientific community. The podcast is in the form of an interview of each year’s speaker by a well-known Indian science journalist, Dr Ramaseshan Ramachandran. Each interview attempts to explore the story behind the work of these scientists and the impact of their scientific research.

Marie Benedict widmet sich einer weiteren klugen Frau, die die Weltgeschichte entscheidend geprägt hat und deren Namen wir dennoch nicht kennen. Rosalind Franklin fand nach jahrelanger Forschung die Doppelhelixstruktur unserer DNA, doch für diesen Coup geehrt wurden fälschlicherweise drei Männer... Rosalind Franklin war schon immer eine Außenseiterin - brillant, aber anders. Sie fühlt sich der Wissenschaft am nächsten, den unveränderlichen Gesetzen der Physik und Chemie, die ihre Experimente leiten. Sie wird beauftragt, das Geheimnis unserer DNA zu entschlüsseln.
