Description for Chemistry in Space: From Interstellar Matter to the Origin of Life
Paperback. A unique and extraordinary introduction to chemical processes under extreme conditions and their impact on the early development of our solar system, as well as a deeper understanding of processes on Earth where conditions approach those of extraterrestrial areas. Num Pages: 302 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PNR. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 241 x 172 x 17. Weight in Grams: 644.
The dynamic field of extraterrestrial chemistry brings together ideas of chemistr, astrophysics, and biology to the study of molecules between stars, around stars, and on plantes. This book serves as an introduction to chemial processes under ?unearthly? and hence usually extreme conditions (temperature, pressure, high or low density, bombardment by cosmic rays), and their impact on the early development of our solar system, as well as providing a deeper understanding of processes in earthly regions where conditions approach those of extraterrestrial areas.
A unique and extraordinary perspective written with chemists in mind. An excellent practical book for inorganic, and ... Read more

Reviews for Chemistry in Space: From Interstellar Matter to the Origin of Life
"It is a story of immense timescales and distances, coupled to the atomic and molecular processes at low temperaturs and densities that are controlled microscopically by the laws of quantum mechanics." (Chemistry World, 1 February 2011)
