Editorial Review:
In this delightfully designed book, K. C. Nicolaou introduces the world's most important molecules and shows in a fascinating way the role certain compounds have to play in our everyday lives in the fields of drugs, aromatics or vitamins.

Printed in full color throughout and with its oversize format, this is a must for every chemist, natural scientist and anyone interested in the sciences.
