Résumé
BY THE AUTHOR OF THE CONSUMERS GOOD CHEMICAL GUIDE -WINNER OF THE SCIENCE BOOK PRIZE
What is it in chocolate that makes us feet
good when we eat it? What's the molecule
that turns men on? In this fascinating book, John Emsley takes us on a guided tour through a portrait gallery of molecules, some harmful, some pleasant, showing how they affect our lives. Find out how Mozart met his death, how Hitler could have saved the Third Reich from defeat, and many more interesting
snippets in this highly entertaining, and often surprising book.
