Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Beautifully produced. Intended for non-scientists. The focus in this melding of science and art is on the social, cultural, literary, and psychological context of chemistry. Hoffman (Nobel Prize in Chemistry, 1981) provides essays, personal commentary, and poems; artist Torrence has prepared intriguing collages to accompany the text. Alas, no index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 167-168).
