Description
Chemistry often exists in the middle ground, where human beings reside. Roald Hoffmann's The Same and Not the Same explores this complex world at its molecular level, revealing the tensions that power and reform it. The boundaries between creation and discovery, stasis and dynamics, are all part of a rich tapestry that Hoffmann skillfully unravels. He also addresses the social responsibility of scientists, confronting some of the major ethical controversies in chemistry today with balance and candour. Through down-to-earth explanations, Hoffmann sheds light on the polarities that shape our world, from the pesticides used in agricultural production to the concerns surrounding medication side effects.
