Ben Waber reviewed CHemistry and Our Universe by Ron B. Davis Jr.
An Enjoyable Avalanche of an Introduction
5 stars
This is an absolute firehose of information on the fundamentals of chemistry, and while it demands multiple run-throughs and certainly benefits from some background in the field, this is an excellent resource to get up to speed on the basics. I was primarily interested in this so I can become more knowledgeable on battery technology and some biological processes, and this was definitely a good refresher. A lot of the later chapters are less useful from this perspective, as Davis spends more time with chemistry’s effects in the natural world, so depending on your interests your mileage will vary on these sections. Highly recommend
