Ijeoma Uchegbu: The Wondrous Chemistry Of Everyday Life
What can chemistry reveal about what it means to be human?
Professor Dame Ijeoma Uchegbus book, Chain Reaction , is a vivid and deeply personal journey into the chemistry underpinning everything we touch, consume and inhabit.
She brings to life the chemical bonds that hold our bodies together and the reactions that sustain all life, while recounting her own story, from childhood in post war Nigeria to a groundbreaking career designing treatments for blindness.
Talking to Julia Wheeler
Nowhere have I seen chemistry described so lucidly, comprehensively and made so fun. JIM AL-KHALILI
