How did Rhino get his saggy, baggy & wrinkly skin? Find out in this delightful retelling of a classic Rudyard Kipling tale.
...
Our world & our bodies are immensely complex chemical systems
- everything in life & matter comes down to chemistry in the end.
Great advances in human history have often rested on & prompted progress in chemistry. The exploitation of fire, the development of pigments, & the discovery that metals could be smelted & worked laid the foundations of civilization.
The search for better tools & weapons drove metallurgy, & the need for medicines & perfumes lay behind the first laboratories. Chemistry became a science after it was divorced from alchemy, when the scientific method was applied by luminaries such as Francis Bacon & Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier.
This book traces a story of exploration & discovery & of how humans took control of the world & used chemistry to modify it.
