Williams (physics & astronomy, U. College London, UK) and Hartquist (physics & astronomy, U. of Leeds, UK) offer this bite-sized primer on chemical history. The book begins with an introduction to the physical conditions and chemical availability in space that determine what chemistry can occur. Detection and dynamics of hydrogen and helium are covered, followed by interstellar molecule synthesis and galactic gas and dust dynamics, including planetary formation and the intensification of chemistry that occurs in these concentrated centers of matter. The book finishes by discussing other galaxies, the early universe, and the reciprocal insights to be gained from considering chemistry and astronomy together. Technical mathematics is avoided in favor of accessibility. Distributed in the US by Ingram Publisher Services. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
