The Cosmic-Chemical Bond: Chemistry from the Big Bang to Planet Formation

by D.A. Williams and Thomas W. Hartquist

Aimed at a wide audience, this book describes how molecules formed in chemical reactions occur in a range of environments in interstellar and circumstellar space, from shortly after the Big Bang up to the present epoch. Stressing that chemistry in these environments needs to be driven, it helps identify these drivers and the various chemical networks that operate giving rise to signature molecules that enable the physics of the region to be better...
