Carbon: One Atom's Odyssey

This follows the life story and molecular manifestations of a single carbon atom, which has been a basic building block of nearly 10 million known compounds in living things. Carbon is breathed in by the Peregrine Falcon, helps trees grow tall, and even converts grapes into wine. It is found in livers and pencils, and is essential for the growth of moths. Both educational and inspiring, making it a valuable resource for those interested in chemistry, physics, and the science of the universe.
