O Mg! How Chemistry Came to Be #[nn]

A delightful ensemble of caricatured historical scientists crowds a theater stage on this cover, accompanied by a cheerful cartoon molecule character, all gathered beneath the playful title O Mg! How Chemistry Came to Be. Stephen M. Cohen brings a warm, humorous sensibility to the history of science, presenting what looks like a lively cast of chemistry's greatest contributors rendered with wit and personality. Published by World Scientific in 2022, this is an inviting read for anyone curious about how the science of matter and elements took shape across the centuries.
