As an "applied theoretical chemist," he has made significant contributions to our understanding of chemical bonding and reactivity, and taught two generations of chemists how to use molecular orbitals for real chemistry. Less well known, however, are Hoffmann's important and insightful contributions to the areas of scholarship surrounding chemistry. Over a career that spans nearly fifty years, Roald Hoffmann has thought and written copiously about the broader context of chemistry and its relationship to the arts and poetry. This book contains Hoffmann's essays and is organized around several major themes: chemical reasoning and explanation, writing and communicating in science, ethics, art and science, and chemical education. A few are unpublished lectures that are valuable additions to the volume. The editors have the full cooperation of Roald Hoffmann in this project. Most of the published work will be reprinted verbatim, but a few of the essays will be revised to eliminate redundancy. The unpublished lectures will also be edited since they were originally intended to be delivered orally at specific occasions. The editors will provide an introduction to the book, and some introductory material for each section. In introducing the material, they will highlight the intrinsic importance and interest of the ideas, as well as the places where Hoffmann's thought makes novel contributions to cognate areas"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000729689 650_0 $$aChemistry$$xPhilosophy. 000729689 650_0 $$aCommunication in science. 000729689 650_0 $$aArt and science. 000729689 7001_ $$aKovac, Jeffrey. 000729689 7001_ $$aWeisberg, Michael. 000729689 85280 $$bebk$$hEbrary Academic Complete 000729689 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://site.ebrary.com/lib/usiricelib/Doc?id=10521056$$zOnline Access 000729689 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:729689$$pGLOBAL_SET 000729689 980__ $$aEBOOK 000729689 980__ $$aBIB 000729689 982__ $$aEbook 000729689 983__ $$aOnline
