Almost daily, headlines announce newly discovered links between cancers and their genetic causes. Science journalist Jessica Wapner vividly relates the backstory behind those headlines, reconstructing the crucial breakthroughs, explaining the science behind them, and giving due to the dozens of researchers, doctors, and patients whose curiosity and determination restored the promise of a future to the more than 50,000 people diagnosed each year with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).

Essential oils are extracted from flowers, leaves, fruits, peel, seeds, wood, bark, roots, and other natural materials. There are thousands of different kinds of essential oils, and each has unique properties and characteristics. They are highly volatile, so they are easily absorbed by the skin, and one must take care in the use of them.

What do bubbles in a soft drink, a bullet-proof vest, a plastic chair, and our DNA have in common? Carbon. It is, and forever has been, the ubiquitous architect of life and civilization, forming the chemical backbone of every living creature. And yet, when we hear the word today, it is more often than not in a crisis situation: carbon dioxide emissions are destroying the ozone layer and warming the planet; the volatile Middle East explodes atop its stores of hydrocarbons; carbohydrates threaten obesity and diabetics.

Coconut oil is one of the few foods that can be classified as a superfood. Coconut oil can have such a profound positive effect on your overall health. This includes fat loss, better brain function, and so many other amazing benefits! Maybe you've already made the switch to coconut oil in your kitchen, but did you know that coconut oil is basically the very best and healthiest cosmetic product in the world as well?

This is the first audiobook in a series that teaches basic chemistry. This book focuses on defining chemistry as a science,states of matter, properties of matter, introducing the periodic table, metric system, and naming compounds. This book starts out the series that will build a general understanding of chemistry and science.

The iconic periodic table of the elements is now in its most satisfyingly elegant form. This is because all the "gaps" corresponding to missing elements in the seventh row, or period, have recently been filled and the elements named. But where do these names come from? For some, usually the most recent, the origins are quite obvious, but in others - even well-known elements such as oxygen or nitrogen - the roots are less clear. Here, Peter Wothers explores the fascinating and often surprising stories behind how the chemical elements received their names.

The periodic table of elements, first encountered by many of us at school, provides an arrangement of the chemical elements, ordered by their atomic number, electron configuration, and recurring chemical properties, and divided into periodic trends. In this Very Short Introduction audiobook, Eric R. Scerri looks at the trends in properties of elements that led to the construction of the table and shows how the deeper meaning of the table's structure gradually became apparent with the development of atomic theory.

In this installment of the Ask the Experts series, Chemistry, our professors, scientists, and researchers tackle reader questions about the substances that compose all matter, their properties, and how they interact and change. Queries range from elementary questions, such as why some elements change color over a flame, to how chemistry works in everyday life, to how certain substances affect the body and more.

Boriquímica es una producción de la Sección de Puerto Rico de la American Chemical Society (ACS-PR) en colaboración con sus capítulos estudiantiles.

A química não é um assunto abstrato que só acontece em laboratórios: ela está em toda parte. E, se você quer entender como o mundo funciona, o segredo está na tabela periódica — é o que Elementar nos mostra. À primeira vista, essa tabela aparentemente hermética, originária do sonho de um grande gênio exausto e ávido por tentar organizar a então recente ciência da química, pode parecer intimidadora. Mas ela nada mais é do que uma lista de ingredientes, na qual se encontram as substâncias mais puras que constituem tudo: da beterraba às bicicletas.
