The Chemistry of Beauty

Original title: La química de lo bello
Category: Non-Fiction | Science
Synopsis:

A scientific account on art and everyday beauty

Deborah García Bello gifts us with a work that reflects on beauty, and unveils how to experience it to its fullest, greater intensity by using scientific knowledge.

The author invites us to a walk through everyday beauty, where we will find out how art, the beauty of a sunset or natural phenomena and chemistry are closely related.

Thanks to chemistry I have kept at awe my amusement for everyday beauty, and I have learnt to savour quietly the splendour of precious things, from the happiness of a normal day to the fascination for a piece of art. Knowing your chemistry is like walking through life with atomic scale eyes. All the beauty, the goodness and the truly incomparable things of daily life look clearer through scientific knowledge."

Deborah García Bello, an awarded chemist and popular scientist invites us to enjoy science, to unlearn the flawed perception that it is a strict and sterile discipline, and to observe its beauty in our daily life.
