My top 5 chemistry related books from 2024.

1. Elixir - Theresa Levitt

‘Set amidst the unforgettable sights and smells of 18th and 19th Century Paris, Elixir tells the story of Edouard Laugier and Auguste Laurent, the son of a perfumer and a fellow aspiring chemist, who met on the Left Bank while pursuing their passion for science.’

A wonderful, easy to read book that shines a fascinating light on some areas of early organic chemistry.


2. Material World - Ed Conway

‘Sand, salt, iron, copper, oil and lithium. They built our world, and they will transform our future.These are the six most crucial substances in human history. They took us from the Dark Ages to the present day. They power our computers and phones, build our homes and offices, and create life-saving medicines. But most of us take them completely for granted. In Material World, Ed Conway travels the globe - from the sweltering depths of the deepest mine in Europe, to spotless silicon chip factories in Taiwan, to the eerie green pools where lithium originates - to uncover a secret world we rarely see. Revealing the true marvel of these substances, he follows the mind-boggling journeys, miraculous processes and little-known companies that turn the raw materials we all need into products of astonishing complexity.’

Truly engaging and eye opening - a must read for anyone interested in science, technology, the environment and the economy.


3. Steeped - Michelle Francl

‘Tea is the world's most popular beverage. Dive into a cup of tea with a chemist and discover the rich molecular brew that can be extracted from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. Tea contains over a hundred different chemical compounds which contribute to its colour, taste and scent - and its stimulating effects. The best-known is caffeine, but how does caffeine end up in tea and how can you get it out?’

Lovely tour through the complex chemistry present in a simple cup of tea. Perfect for those with a introductory grasp of organic chemistry.


4. 30 Tutorials in Chemistry - W S Lau

‘Written in an accessible language and little prior knowledge has been assumed beyond the reader having studied one year of A level or equivalent. This textbook covers a number of key topics typically found in first (and occasionally in second) year university courses.Explanations start from scratch whenever possible and particular emphasis is given to common misconceptions and unanswered questions in A level. For example, would you be surprised that the mixing of butane and water is actually exothermic and involves the formation of more hydrogen bonds?’

A must read for those starting an undergraduate course in chemistry, well organised and advanced ideas explained in detail.


5. Concepts in Physical Chemistry - Peter Atkins

‘Completely revised and updated for a second edition, this reference guide is an essential summary of the key concepts in physical chemistry that are likely to be encountered by undergraduate chemistry students. This book also serves as a useful reference for all who encounter physical chemical concepts in their professional activities or research. Written by a renowned textbook author and educator, this new edition of Concepts in Physical Chemistry is a convenient, easy-to-use, and authoritative reference; the chemical terms, ideas, and equations most frequently encountered in classroom or laboratory are clearly defined and explained.’

A very useful reference book for physical chemistry, perfect for bright A-level students and undergraduates. As a free download, grab it now!
