"Reactions concludes Gray's epic story of our chemical world.... In
Elements, Gray taught us about the 118 elements; Molecules showed
us how they combine; and in Reactions, he demonstrates, through his
arresting photography and witty text, how molecules interact in
ways that are essential to our very existence."--Publishers
Weekly
"Reactions is a great way to continue exploring the world, with
Gray as your tour guide."--Geek Dad
"[A] sumptuous coffee-table odyssey from the characters of
individual atoms to our astonishing ability to 'see' molecules
orbiting distant stars. The pictures complement the text ideally,
whether of sugar and oxygen reacting in 'a lovely fireball' or-in
the enjoyably named 'The Boring Chapter'-an artist's impression of
what paint is doing while you watch it dry. The perfect adjunct to
a chemistry set for any curious youngster, as long as you're not
worried about explosions."--Wall Street Journal
"In Reactions [Gray] offers a lavishly illustrated tour of [the]
molecular battleground, full of wit and wonder."--Nature
