Theodore Gray.
Molecules: the elements and the architecture of everything.
Hachette. 2014

A stunning exploration of how elements combine into molecules and how molecules combine into every thing in the world.

In Molecules, Theodore Gray takes the next step his epic story at the periodic table that began with his bestselling book, The Elements, and reached its finale with Reactions. Fascinating stories, beautiful photographs, and diagrams of compounds and their chemical bonds capture molecules in their various states and as they appear in our daily life—from oil and water, to soaps and solvents, to ropes and fibers, and more.
