Overview

"H. W. Roesky K. Mockel Chemical Curiosities Spectacular Experiments and Inspired Quotes over 9000 copies of the German edition sold in 18 months The remarkable achievement of the ""Roesky/Mockel"" is the linkage between the world of the human spirit, expressed in literature and historical continuity, and the art of chemical demonstration. One expects Goethe to move freely in the pages of ""Chemical Curiosities"", but Whitman, Nietzsche, Thomas Mann, Salvador Dali, Montaigne, and the prophet Jeremiah! They serve too, authentically and ingeniously, in the authors deeply humanistic approach to science. The chemical and literary strands of this book are so ably intertwined. Roald Hoffmann"
