Have you ever wondered how dough rises? Or how your morning coffee offers you a surge of energy? Or why does your shampoo make your hair look greasy? Chemistry is the answer. Chemistry is at work from the minute we wake up until we go to sleep (and even while we sleep), yet understanding it doesn't require a PhD in science.

Dr. Biberdorf has appeared on television shows ranging from The Today Show to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, igniting the world and changing the face of chemistry as we know it. She demystifies the fundamental principles of science that may have evaded you in high school in It's Elemental and demonstrates how chemistry is present in everything we do. This fascinating guide will ignite your passion for science and revolutionize the way you perceive the universe, with sarcastic humour and inspiring energy.
