<p>What distinguishes this book from the others is that it is targeted at A-level students and their teachers, though International Baccalaureate and foundation year university students would also benefit. </p>
<p>These accounts are complemented by an excellent variety of questions.</p>
<p>I thoroughly recommend this book to all A-level teachers who wish to challenge their pupils.</p>

<p></p><p>"If you are doing A-level chemistry or perhaps are in the first year of a chemistry degree, the book will be a genuine delight...this is a book that could well make chemistry significantly more approachable and meaningful, making the title very much recommended."</p>

Studying or revising any topic is made easier when presented in a specific context, and chemistry is no exception. For instance, the Haber process becomes a lot more interesting when you know that more than a third of the world’s population are fed by it. This book brings chemistry alive through a tour of 18 elements (9 metals and 9 non-metals) found in most chemistry curriculums. Each chapter presents an element in several contexts, with questions offered to test the reader. The author, David Scott, has over 25 years’ experience of teaching chemistry at a range of secondary institutions in the UK and abroad. David was a principal examiner for the OCR AS level chemistry for nine years and is currently an editorial associate of the School Science Review. This book is essential wider reading for advanced students at school or beginning university. Teachers will also benefit in developing lessons from the contexts presented, many of which demonstrate how science has progressed amidst changing ideologies, political struggles and social turmoil.
