Resumen del Editor

Our world is ruled by chemistry. It is the study of matter and energy at the scale of atoms and molecules. As the most all-embracing discipline there is, it should be at the top of everyone’s list of must-learn subjects.

Chemistry and Our Universe: How It All Works is your in-depth introduction to this vital field, taught through 60 engaging half-hour lectures that are suitable for any background or none at all. Covering a year’s worth of introductory general chemistry at the college level, plus intriguing topics that are rarely discussed in the classroom, this amazingly comprehensive course requires nothing more advanced than high-school math. Your guide is Professor Ron B. Davis, Jr., a research chemist and award-winning teacher at Georgetown University.

With passion and humor, Professor Davis guides you through the fascinating world of atoms, molecules, and their remarkable interactions, showing you how to think, analyze problems, and predict outcomes like a true expert in the field.

Life changing

After listening to this I've become excited enough to pursue university studies in chemistry! I high recommend this course. Professor Davis gives detailed history of chemistry at a pace that keeps the course moving but educates the listener and maintains interest. The included PDF file is a great aid to the audio, definitely download!

Trying to figure out an interest for study has been quite difficult. There are so many different fields that interest me. While listening to Chemistry and our Universe, the processes and history were told in a way that made anything seem attainable through chemistry. This pinpointed my interest. Many times I almost jump off my equipment at work getting so excited about some of the information! Now my mind is racing with all new ideas and questions!

Long

Long, but you survive. Lots of boaring an interesting parts or is chemistry after all.

Great reference

A wealth of Chemistry info. I will definitely watch it next to get the visuals.

Great College Review Material

I studied the subject at a major university ad wondered if this would help remember the course material. The audio book exceeded my expectations.

Visual

This is called audible, but having a visual for his labs would be nice. I intend on finding more with Ron Davis. I can’t reduce a star for visual.

Great course, but not the best for audio only.

I really enjoyed the course…but I thought it would be something to listen to in my car to learn more about chemistry. It is actually much more of a course you can follow along with and learn a lot…if you have the videos and lecture notes - which are included in your purchase - but are not useable while driving.

I suggest if you purchase this course you make time to view the included material.

Excellent overview.

Great course that really piques one’s interest in this topic. Very well presented material. More chemistry is in my future for sure.

Amazing

I have listened to this book many times. It has helped me understand chemistry better. Just good to listen while driving

lecture

it is written to go with a lecture in a lab, written like a text book, not back for comprehension.

Great audiobook

Great presentations. Dr Davis does a good job is connecting everything to real life situations. Kept me engaged throughout
