Summary

An "introduction to the subject of how atoms are arranged and interconnected in molecules and crystals and to the way in which the geometry of this organization accounts for some of the properties of substances. ... The Author and [Roger Hayward, the] illustrator. . . emphasize the significance of molecular structure to life."
