Summary:
"In this fresh and engaging guide to
chemistry
, Dr. Kate Biberdorf, aka 'Kate the Chemist,' reveals the fascinating science we experience every day. Have you ever wondered what makes dough rise? Or how your morning coffee gives you that energy boost? Or why your shampoo is making your hair look greasy? The answer is
chemistry
. From the moment we wake up until the time we go to sleep (and even while we sleep),
chemistry
is at work -- and it doesn't take a PhD in science to understand it. Dr. Biberdorf has appeared on TV programs from the Today show to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, lighting the world on fire and changing the face of
chemistry
as we know it. In It's
Elemental
, she demystifies the fundamental principles of the science that may have eluded you in high school and shows how
chemistry
comes alive in
everything
we do. With wry wit and infectious enthusiasm, this entertaining guide will ignite your passion for science and change the way you experience the world."--Publisher.
