Description
Milan Kratochvíl's book 'Paths of Chemistry from Atoms in Molecules to Nanotechnology' is not a conventional textbook. However, it contains something you won't find in textbooks. It is much more a perspective of an experienced physical-organic chemist on the current state of chemistry as a creative discipline. Chemistry and science in general continue to celebrate new successes and achieve things that were considered unthinkable just a few years ago. We often find that success was driven by intuition, inventive and creative thinking that emerged from existing knowledge of facts and theories, yet managed to surpass them. Thus, something that is generally associated with artistic creation. The author's goal was to convey the beauty of this discovery and inspire young readers about chemistry. The book will certainly be interesting for older generations of chemists who make a living in this discipline and lose track of new discoveries in the field amidst their daily 'operations.'
