Mary,
Excellent book purchased to support Thing 2's science studies。 I learned quite a bit as well。 Information is colorful and well laid out as to be less overwhelming than textbooks。 Excellent book purchased to support Thing 2's science studies。 I learned quite a bit as well。 Information is colorful and well laid out as to be less overwhelming than textbooks。 。。。more
Christine Shearer,
A visually beautiful exploration of molecules, with very clear descriptions。
Linda Rose,
Thanks everyone for reccomending this book to get ready for chemistry class。
Billy,
A worthy follow-on to the author's Elements book。 Unlike the Elements book, though, where you could see him laboring to say something, anything interesting about some of the rarer ones with few applications, this tome on molecules is chockful of fascinating tidbits。 Wish I had had this book back when I was in high school chemistry。 His explanation on carbon bonding is so intuitive, it should be mandatory reading。 A worthy follow-on to the author's Elements book。 Unlike the Elements book, though, where you could see him laboring to say something, anything interesting about some of the rarer ones with few applications, this tome on molecules is chockful of fascinating tidbits。 Wish I had had this book back when I was in high school chemistry。 His explanation on carbon bonding is so intuitive, it should be mandatory reading。 。。。more
D。 Brew,
I read this book to my 5 year old daughter over the course of a month or so。 I think more parents ought to read books like this to their children。 It provides a great opportunity to introduce these concepts to kids in a fun way。 But even if kids aren't able to grasp it, they will enjoy the dramatic pictures。 Not one page goes by without an image that piques the kids' (and my) interest。I no longer dread bedtime, now that it's an opportunity to learn more about chemistry。Looking forward to reading I read this book to my 5 year old daughter over the course of a month or so。 I think more parents ought to read books like this to their children。 It provides a great opportunity to introduce these concepts to kids in a fun way。 But even if kids aren't able to grasp it, they will enjoy the dramatic pictures。 Not one page goes by without an image that piques the kids' (and my) interest。I no longer dread bedtime, now that it's an opportunity to learn more about chemistry。Looking forward to reading the next one 'Reactions。' 。。。more
Greg Parrott,
And adult science picture book。 Well designed。
Jessica,
I loved this book so much! The photos were really nice, along with the examples and explanations! I just started teaching an organic chemistry course, and this helped me better explain certain things like soap and natural vs。 synthetic to my students in a way that they would better understand。
Milli,
I LOVE Theodore Gray! I wish I had this book before I took chemistry in college! I learned a lot! AND IT WAS FUN!! The chapter "I hate this molecule" wasnt completely objective for him personally but the information was still factual。 I would read any book Theodore Gray writes in the future。 I think every middle school and highschool chemistry class should have this book! Cant wait to get my hands on "Reactions" I LOVE Theodore Gray! I wish I had this book before I took chemistry in college! I learned a lot! AND IT WAS FUN!!

Thomas,
Molecules is a beautiful encyclopedia with limited and quite bland content。 The Elements is a much more interesting book。
Rena Hua,
Read it at grade 5, very interesting book, given lots of example s
Tommy,
Colorful and entertaining coffee table book。 I have to get a physical copy of the Element eventually。
Sylvia,
A good book to go with my kids chemistry studies。 Although they enjoyed the "Elements" one in the series much more A good book to go with my kids chemistry studies。 Although they enjoyed the "Elements" one in the series much more 。。。more
I wish it would explain more, even if that meant less pictures。
Carlos Martinez,
The perfect follow-up to Theodore Gray's 'Elements'。 Quirky humour, clear explanations, beautiful pictures, and tons of fascinating facts。 This series of books is really helping on my bid to be slightly less ignorant in relation to the natural sciences。 The perfect follow-up to Theodore Gray's 'Elements'。 Quirky humour, clear explanations, beautiful pictures, and tons of fascinating facts。 This series of books is really helping on my bid to be slightly less ignorant in relation to the natural sciences。 。。。more

Harald Groven,
The p-book is truly beautiful, but the iPad version of the book is remarkable! You can play around with the jiggling molecules in 3D, while the app is presenting all the text from the book illustrated by interactive animations。 One of the rare examples of a book vastly improved, not degraded by "appification"。 The p-book is truly beautiful, but the iPad version of the book is remarkable!

KYLE CHRISTY,
Another excellent book by my new favorite author。 Sharp images and witty text are a match made in heaven, especially for this book。

Ryan,
just beautiful, fun and informative
Geraldine,
For someone who has never been introduced to Chemistry, this was an excellent book。 Way above my head but still a good book for a novice。 On to Reactions。

Chris Shockey,
Very enjoyableVery enjoyable overview of how molecules work。 The pictures fit in with the narrative and do an excellent job of demonstrating the material。
Julianne,
I'm really frustrated with not being able to finish this at the moment, because me reading it is kind of necessary for a current WIP。 Gah。 I'm really frustrated with not being able to finish this at the moment, because me reading it is kind of necessary for a current WIP。 Gah。 。。。more
D。 Ryan,
Just awesome。 Great teaching on atoms and molecules, and great exploration。
Awesome144,
This is a great book。 A good and thorough description would take hours。Theodore gray brings ordinary stuff to life with his wit and humor (all while explaining thoroughly about the molecule。)This is not a standard book about the stuff that makes up our world。IN SHORT:This is one of the best book about it's topic out there and I strongly suggest you read itI give it five stars or⚛⚛⚛⚛⚛(five stars) This is a great book。 A good and thorough description would take hours。Theodore gray brings ordinary stuff to life with his wit and humor (all while explaining thoroughly about the molecule。)This is not a standard book about the stuff that makes up our world。IN SHORT:This is one of the best book about it's topic out there and I strongly suggest you read itI give it five stars or⚛⚛⚛⚛⚛(five stars) 。。。more
Kmorlock,
Excellent photos and information throughout! Even interesting for a non-chemistry buff。
Noah Goats,
I really liked Gray's book about the Elements, and I like this one too, though maybe not quite as much。 The Periodic Table lends itself to a very pleasing sort of order, molecules are a more chaotic business。 Still, I learned a bunch, and enjoyed Gray's humor and passion for his subject。 I really liked Gray's book about the Elements, and I like this one too, though maybe not quite as much。 The Periodic Table lends itself to a very pleasing sort of order, molecules are a more chaotic business。 Still, I learned a bunch, and enjoyed Gray's humor and passion for his subject。 。。。more
Peter,
Even better than The Elements。 I loved the chapter on polymers and fibers
