Reviews
"This book will sit proudly on my shelf, and I fully expect it to be a useful reference source. I hope that will be true of schools and colleges too." Chemistry and Industry, June 2008 "The book's style and content are more accessible than is the case for most other books on synthetic organic chemistry that you're likely to encounter." (Chemical and Engineering News, June 2008) "This book will change the attitudes of many to science." (Chemistry in Australia, June 2008) "I found this book a highly enjoyable read. This fresh approach should be applauded and will no doubt become a classic in its own right." (Chemistry World, June 2008) "This book will no doubt educate, inspire and motivate?" (Angewandte Chemie, 2008-47/18) "...delightfully designed book?" (Portal für Organische Chemie, Feburary 2008) "You will meet for instance Milan Uskovivic, who prepared desoxyquinine or Leo Sternbach the 'father' of the benzodiazepines too. Happy reading!" (RoSearch, April 2008) "This book is a true treasure chest of information, chemical and non-chemical..." (ChemMedChem, April 2008) "A wonderfully suitable gift for anyone who is interested in chemistry, and will serve to enhance that fascination and interest." (Organic Chemistry Portal, March 2008) "A scientific journey encapsulating the most important aspects of the history of chemical discovery over the last 50 years." (MedicalNewsToday.com, 16 March 2008), "Großzügig mit bisher selten veröffentlichten Fotos und Zeichnungen ausgestattet, lädt das englischsprachige Werk ein zu einer wissenschaftshistorichen Reise, die an den wichtigsten Stationen der chemisch-medizinischen Forschung der vergangenen zehn Jahre innehält." www.literatur-report.de, März 2008 "Das Buch ist aber ein wunderbar geeignetes Geschenk für alle, welche sich für Chemie interessieren, da es die Begeisterung und das Interesse verstärken kann. " http://www.organische-chemie.ch/buecher/besprechungen/3527309837.shtm April 2008 "Molecules that Changed theWorld ist nichts geringeres als ein Meisterwerk, das Chemiker stolz auf ihren Beruf werden laesst? Dieses Buch ist zugleich Inspiration und Motivation für jeden, der ein Interesse an Naturwissenschaften und ihre Bedeutung für die Menschheit hat - vom jungen Studenten und interessierten Laien bis zum versierten Wissenschaftler oder Praktiker der Lebenswissenschaften." Angewandte Chemie April 2008 "Keine "leichte" Kost: mehr als zwei Kilo schwer, über 350 Seiten, dazu in einem ganz ungewöhnlichen Format, aber für den an Naturstoffchemie Interessierten ein üppig, durchgehend farbig aufgemachtes Buch zu einem - vergleichsweise geringen Preis." Deutsche Apotheker Zeitung April 2008 "Die besprochenen Beispiele sind gut ausgewählt und präsentieren wirkliche Meilensteine..." Physik in unserer Zeit 03/2008 "Trotz Unmengen Fotos, Farbabbildungen, Formeln und Reaktionsschemata ist auch die Bezeichnung Bildband inkorrekt und weckt falsche Erwartungen, bietet Molecules that changed the World doch in jedem Kapitel viel mehr als nur knappe Bildbeschreibungen oder -unterschriften. Hier liegt ein Chemie-Buch vor, das man, auch im deutschen Sprachraum, nur mit dem englischen Begriff coffee-table book adäquat umschreiben kann:" Treffpunkt Buch plus, Biologie in unserer Zeit Frühjahr 2008 "Ich erlaube mir, die Worte des Philosophen Henry David Thoreau leicht zu verändern: Es ist lebendige Geschichte in den Blättern dieses Buches."
