With \u003ci\u003eMolecules\u003c\/i\u003e, he delved into how these elements combine to form the very fabric of our universe. In \u003ci\u003eReactions\u003c\/i\u003e, Gray once again blends his stunning photography with captivating storytelling to reveal the dynamic interactions between molecules that are fundamental to our existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book begins with an accessible recap of elements and molecules, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of chemical reactions. Gray then plunges into explaining critical concepts that characterise these reactions, such as Energy, Entropy, and Time. This foundation allows readers to grasp the underlying principles that govern chemical processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing this introduction, the book is meticulously organised by types of reactions. Chapters include engaging titles like \"Fantastic Reactions and Where to Find Them,\" where readers discover extraordinary chemical interactions, and \"On the Origin of Light and Colour,\" which explores the chemistry behind the phenomena that paint our world in brilliant hues. There's also \"The Boring Chapter,\" a whimsically titled section that delves into the surprisingly complex reactions behind everyday occurrences like paint drying, grass growing, and water boiling. Lastly, \"The Need for Speed\" covers high-energy topics such as weather phenomena, ignition, and combustion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eReactions\u003c\/i\u003e is not just a book; it’s an invitation to witness the marvellous processes that silently shape our everyday life. Gray's clear explanations make complex ideas approachable and engaging, while his stunning photographs bring the invisible world of chemistry to vibrant life. This tome is an essential addition to the library of anyone intrigued by the scientific forces that govern our universe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you’re a seasoned chemist, a science enthusiast, or simply curious about the mechanics of the world around you, \u003ci\u003eReactions\u003c\/i\u003e promises a journey of discovery and wonder, continuing Theodore Gray's legacy of making chemistry both accessible and awe-inspiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette New Zealand Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45712798384364,"sku":"9780762497362","price":34.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780762497362.jpg?v=1725991186","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/reactions","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
